Inspired Me

In the NEW "Story Time With..." video, I am introducing the Sassy Stencil Girls. They were some fun paintings I made back in 2014. They were made with my art journaling techniques and my love for fashion. In this video, I shared how they were made, a Sassy Stencil Girls fashion show and told their uplifting story.

Hello everyone! Last week, I debuted my  NEW YouTube art series called, "Story Time With..." This inspirational series will take a look at some of the art I made in the past. In each video, I will tell how I created them and their meaning. These personal stories are filled with faith, love, hope, joy and just life.  Around 2010, I began teaching myself to draw and eventually that lead me to art journaling and painting. It was a surprising interest for me and I have loved every minute of it. You can see some of my art in these virtual art shows  HERE . My first guest for "Story Time With..." was Elle Monae. She was my first canvas painting and I am so proud of her. This art combines all of my artistic passions of drawing, art journal techniques and painting.

This year, I have  had so much fun creating scrapbook pages. I haven't made this many layouts in like forever!!! LOL! They have become more like journal pages in 12 x 12 size. Most of the time, I tell the technical details behind my pages. But today, I will be sharing the story behind the title "Imagine That." This page was so fun to create and really captured the spirit of my picture.  The day I took that picture was a good day. I felt so happy and joyful. Then, I thought how am I this happy in the middle of this global pandemic, social injustice, hurricanes and political unrest? Is it ok to take a break from the stress of our world? Well, this day I said, "HECK YEAH!" 2020 has been a devastating year full of so much fear and instability. Most of us have been at home more than ever and wearing our sweats and t-shirts. It has been a time of embracing anything that feels comforting and cozy. But this day, I put on a new dress, makeup and a sm...
