This Grace Story finds me witnessing the most humbling experience in this existence: simultaneously MovingOut/In/Up/On. It never happens any other way! Grace: MovingOut/In/Up/On " … every damned one of those takes considerable getting used to." Of all human activities, Moving might be the most illuminating. When Moving, one becomes perhaps both their most vulnerable and their most liberated. Displaced, even temporarily, reveals many hidden edges and allows for much discovery, especially the sort one had sincerely hoped to avoid. Pull a dresser away from a wall and find the remnants of some earlier inattention, like a pair of cobweb-covered underwear. Idealy, Moving should only be attempted in private, but some possessions, like the infamous hide-a-bed, require at least a crew of two to move and, even then, will insist upon opening up when halfway up the stairs. The first and last scenes in many popular stories involve Moving, with the hero leaving on their defining journey and then returning to move on into another realm. There never seems to be any actual coming home, only MovingOut/In/Up/On. I've been blessed with the opportunity to assist my son Wilder in his latest MovingOut/In/Up/On. ...

To discover your purpose, following your passion is key. In times of stress, what brings you back to center? For me, it's making art and pushing my limits. Inspired by the buzz around The Batman, I took on the challenge of creating an original drawing from memory.

When I was in art school, I found myself painting from a place of pain, creating art that was super moody and dark, filled with all my youthful angst. It was deeply personal for me, yet hard for anyone to want to live with. 🫣Then, a lightbulb switched on and changed everything. I realized that my art wasn't just for me—it was for others too... If I wanted to connect with others and sell my art, I needed to create works that people would cherish in their homes, not just expressions of my own emotional turmoil. I asked myself, 'How can I paint from the other side of my pain? How can I create something that inspires and uplifts?' That's when my art began to change and shift. Art doesn't have to be just rainbows and fluffy clouds to be uplifting. You can explore deep, meaningful themes in a way that adds beauty and positivity to someone's space. Hope sells. People are drawn to art that uplifts, inspires, and surrounds them with positivity. 🦄 This shift in perspective transformed my art and its impact, reminding me that while it's personal, it's also profoundly universal.

Passionate about art that tells a story and connects with people As an artist, I'm constantly evolving my ideas informed by my own experiences and observations of other's challenges. One of my current project ideas began with continuous line drawings highlighting areas in watercolor. The goal is to draw many hands, especially those that face challenges such as tremors or arthritis, to explore our relationship with our hands and self-identify. #ArtThatTellsAStory #ContinuousLineDrawings #ExploreOurRelationshipsWithOurHands

"Broken Heart" This illustration depicts a heart wrapped in white bandages, with visible cracks and leaking pink fluid, symbolizing pain or loss. The background is a rich blue, highlighting the contrast between the bright red heart and the white bandages. This work is filled with emotion, conveying the idea of healing after an injury or breakup. The illustration can serve as a symbol of emotional struggle and the power of recovery. #BrokenHeart #EmotionalArt #HealingProcess #DigitalArt #HeartIllustration #SymbolicArt #Heartbreak #HealingJourney #EmotionalDesign #ConceptArt #SadIllustration #BandagedHeart #ArtOfPain #IllustrationOfFeelings #tesnicart

#RandomThoughts You see, there's a profound beauty in the imperfect moments captured by a camera. Every fleeting motion, every unguarded expression, every seemingly flawed angle can tell a unique story that a perfectly posed photo might miss. The raw, unfiltered moments might be the truest reflections of our humanity, revealing our vulnerabilities and genuine selves. Yet, society often pressures us to present a polished, idealized version of ourselves. We curate our images to fit an accepted standard of perfection, seeking validation through likes and admiration. But imagine if we celebrated the imperfect snapshots, those moments where our imperfections are visible and our true selves shine through. Acceptance, whether of ourselves or others, is indeed challenging. It requires a shift in perspective, one that values authenticity over idealization. Maybe, if we dared to share and appreciate the imperfect, we’d find a richer, more genuine connection with one another. After all, in our imperfections, we might just find the most beautiful forms of art.

The light of the right path symbolizes the journey of righteousness and truth. It’s a metaphorical beacon guiding us towards ethical decisions and moral actions, helping us distinguish right from wrong. It’s the embodiment of wisdom, truth, and integrity in our life’s journey. #art #greenery #photostudy #studies #digitalart #2dart #backgroundart #illustration #brightcolors
