Helping my mom unpack and found the first big portrait I ever painted. I was 16.
I made the frame, cut and stretched the canvas myself, and painted the whole thing. It was truly a labor of love.
This was also during a season when I was too afraid to paint anyone else, so somehow every person I painted ended up looking like some version of me. 😂
Painting has always been something that brings me so much peace and joy ❤️
