“But the heart and soul of the show is still her incredible paintings, which combine saturated colors, lavish abstraction, and thickly painted figures and imagery to create a powerful but elusive sensation in the viewer which she describes as, “the feeling you get when you’re just waking up from a dream.

For my fellow creatives (whether you’re a designer, artist, illustrator, photographer, writer, etc etc)—If you work in the creative industry, it’s no secret that people will try to screw you over for creative work..
I just wanted to let you know that EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. Chin up. And as cliche as it sounds—count your blessings. Every single one of them. Because things will get better, and everything will eventually work itself out. Give yourself patience; we live in a world of instant gratification, and we expect things to fall into our laps as soon as we want them. But the universe doesn’t work in this way.
It’s such an honor for me to be featured amongst some amazing illustrtive talent in this book! Photos after the jump.
