I realize I’m publishing this 3/4 of the way through 2020; and that’s because 2020 has been it’s own stress filled year of surgery and quarantine from COVID. I don’t even have the wherewithal to expound on the year 2019, it was that much a dumpster fire of stress.

Photos and Art
I’m a self-taught photographer and when my vision started affecting my ability to take portraits, I needed an outlet for my creative drive. I asked for paints for my birthday in 2017, and loved how much I could do with acrylic paint. In 2019 I picked up watercolor as a way to release stress during hospital stays.
