My art through the years!

I made sure to only include pieces that were fully finished. I think I can proudly say each year had good pieces, even if I’m learning new things! Into 2025, and to improving my work. 💕

2024/11/24 Edited to

Art is a powerful medium for self-expression, and over the years, I’ve embraced this journey fully. From my first pieces in 2017 to the work I’ve created in 2024, each year has represented a unique chapter in my artistic evolution. Each artwork completed reflects not just a skill but a heartfelt expression of creativity and learning. In 2018, I experimented with different techniques and styles, leading to a significant transformation in my approach. 2019 was all about experimentation, bringing forth a mix of colors and textures that set the foundation for my future works. Fast forward to 2020, and I found myself diving deeper into themes that resonate with my identity, particularly focusing on what it feels like to create art at home. The years 2021 and 2022 saw me refining my skills further and experimenting with new mediums, allowing me to develop a distinctive style. Now, as I look towards 2025, I am excited about the improvements on the horizon and how I can use my art to better connect with others. Whether you're an artist or just appreciate the beauty of creative expression, I invite you to explore my journey of resilience and growth.
