Whenever I feel like an imposter, I let myself go on paper, let the colours spill and allow the paint to take on a life of its own.

Bird Studies
Going back to my art routine had been hard lately. I cannot stress how difficult it is to establish a routine of making art while being a full-time employee and a full-time graduate student. I started little. I take a break in the afternoon to do a quick sketch or follow an online tutorial. I…
