The amazingly talented + adorable Jenipher Lyn of Nightly Doodles wrote and illustrated an encouraging book for teen girls - and today, I'm celebrating with her!
I'm thrilled to be a part of this celebration (thanks, Jen!) and to share with you the most recent page from my art journal. Inspired by the words I would tell my younger self, if given the chance:
Be true to you.
(Look within).
Whatever it is that holds you back from really, truly, being yourself- let it go.
(There is freedom there).

be true (to you)
Heya. I've been meaning to drop by and say hi. A few weeks ago I had this terrible back injury, and I was stuck in bed unable to move. I was very sad because I couldn't make art or do anything *productive*. So I did the only thing I could do... aimlessly click through the internet. I somehow stumbled upon your blog and read the whole thing in one sitting. It was a real pleasure, and afterward I got up to paint with the little energy I had. Something clicked and I painted something I'd been wanting to but couldn't for some reason. It was a style that I knew was inside me but I hadn't yet reached. I'm not sure how, but it was somehow inspired by you & your blog! So I guess it was fate that I hurt my back!
