this is a foot

For homework this weekend, we had to draw this foot. I really really do not like feet. I think they are ugly and weird looking. God, why did you make feet so strange?

(3.5 hours)

2 years ago this piece was delivered to my lovely friend @jessicacharlesphotography —you might recognize her name from the headshots and couples shoot she did for me! This was inspired by the hot springs in Yellowstone from Jessica and Bryan’s trip that year. I love looking back on past work and knowing that celebrating the beauty of the world around us has always been a part of it, even if my work has changed over the years. 💕

Now that holiday orders are complete, this weekend’s work station is now becoming a card making station. It’s one of my favorite family traditions my mom started when my sister and I were little.

Today was international day of persons with disabilities. It’s a day that’s been celebrated since 1992, but it’s the first time I’ve acknowledged it on social media. . Disability still has a very strong stigma attached to it, and many don’t understand that living with a disability is often invisible. Only 20% of people with disabilities use assistive devices, and that means that often it’s not readily apparent if someone is living with a disability. For a long time, I didn’t feel comfortable describing myself as a person living with a disability because of the judgement and discrimination I’ve faced even though aspects of my daily life and routine are very much limited by my condition. . I’ve been living with a disability condition for 17 years. It’s not curable—I will live with this for the rest of my life. My diaphragm only works at 45% of expected strength for my age. If I really wanted to tally, at this point, I’m sure I’ve spent thousands of hours in infusions, hospitalization. surgeries, clinics, and recuperating from treatment. And after 17 years it’s really not a hyperbole to say insurance doesn’t love me after paying millions for my care. . And yet, I’m not a burden. My life has purpose. I’ve met so many artists also living with disabilities whose work and lives aren’t here just for inspiration. They’re full of purpose and value. They’re some of my best friends. . As one of the largest groups of marginalized people in the US, I am choosing today to celebrate and bring visibility to an invisible community, because really they’re some of the best humans I know.

Ornament painting looks a little different this year than it did year. No glass of wine for me to accidentally dip my paint brush into 😂 haha! . I won’t be taking in any addition custom orders until late Spring 2019. Don’t worry, I’ll still be painting and have some exciting plans and changes for the new year! I just need some time to prep for and adjust to all the exciting changes ahead becoming new parents! . I’ll be honest, as a total people pleaser it was hard for me to decide to put custom work on hold. But you all have been so supportive and it reminds me why I love the community I’ve found through the work I do. 💕
