I’ve seen some discussion surrounding the People’s Artist competition, particularly around the fundraising aspect of it. Some artists have chosen to step away because they feel a fundraising-based competition may not always reflect who is the most technically skilled artist.

I understand that perspective.

But I also think it invites a bigger conversation about what art is and who it is for.

Art has never belonged only to the most talented among us. Art belongs to the child drawing in a hospital room. To the mother painting through grief. To the veteran writing poetry. To the person creating simply because they need an outlet for what they’re carrying.

Art is one of the oldest forms of therapy we have. It helps us process emotions, connect with one another, and make sense of our experiences. It reminds us that we are human.

Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder.

But perhaps the greater beauty is that we can behold something at all, that a painting, a song, a story, or a sculpture can make us feel alive. That it can reconnect us to ourselves, to one another, to our emotions, and, for many of us, to our Creator.

That is why the mission of The Art of Elysium resonates with me. Their work brings creative opportunities to children and families facing serious illness and difficult circumstances. They understand that art is not a luxury. It is something that heals, comforts, inspires, and gives hope.

So whether you vote for me, another artist, or simply take a moment to support the cause itself, I think that’s a beautiful thing.

Because at the end of the day, art is not just about winning.

It’s about connection. 🤍

A few years ago, I never would have imagined sharing my artwork on a platform like this. Most of my paintings began quietly, in the middle of ordinary life — during nap times, late nights, seasons of growth, grief, beauty, and rebuilding.

This year, I decided to enter the People’s Artist competition not just for the opportunity itself, but because I believe art matters. It connects people. It heals. It reminds us to slow down and feel something real in a world that often moves too fast.

I also love that this competition supports The Art of Elysium. Their mission is to bring art and creativity to individuals facing illness, hospitalization, and emotional hardship, using creativity as a source of comfort and healing. That alone makes being part of this feel worthwhile.

If you’d like to support my work, you can vote once daily for free, or additional donation votes can be made to support The Art of Elysium directly through the competition. Truly grateful for every person cheering me on through this journey. 🤍

Something Gentle

01/10/2026

I don’t typically paint florals. This one felt necessary.

01/07/2026

With this commissioned piece, moved back and forth with doubt the entire time I made this. Between being a mother of three, an interior designer, and trying to hold space for being an artist, I kept feeling like I was putting on a hat I hadn’t earned yet. Like I was stepping into a name I wasn’t sure I was allowed to claim.

I questioned every layer. My ability. My voice. Whether what I was making was enough. Still, I kept showing up to the canvas, even when confidence wasn’t there.

This piece wasn’t made from certainty, it was made from persistence. From choosing to stay present through the uncertainty. Where the Light Rests is what came from trusting that if I stayed long enough, the light would eventually settle.

As this new year begins, I’m choosing to stop waiting for permission. To keep making, even when doubt is loud. To let the work speak for itself, and to trust that the light is allowed to rest here, too.

When everything around me feels loud and heavy, I’m reminded that God’s presence isn’t found in the noise, It’s in the stillness. In the quiet moments, He’s right there, steady as ever.

There’s something meditative about painting still life—capturing the quiet presence of ordinary things, the way light rests on a piece of fruit, or how shadows stretch across a table. In a world that moves too fast, still life reminds me to slow down, to notice, to be present.
