I have always wanted to be an artist. I went to Kindergarten Career Day with a painter’s smock and a palette. 🎨 I’ve gotten into a good flow of making art my full-time job.
This year, I’m hoping to figure myself out a little more personally, artistically, and creatively. 🌸✨
Advice I’d give to my 10-year-old self: Don’t live your life by making yourself smaller to make other people feel big. 💪

My favorite way to unwind is listening to an audiobook and drawing. 📚🎧✍️
Social media is very distracting and fun and bad for me like candy! 🍬 It is the best and worst thing to happen to me. 😂📱
This year, my focus is on being more spicy and silly and brave. 🌶️😜🦁
In a world of Scooter Brauns, be a Taylor Swift. 🎤✨

To me, art is breathing. 🌬️🎨
