Life can Be Loca and doesn't always go as planned...
sometimes it turns out better.
A little over a year ago, in what felt like some of my darkest hours, I was looking for a creative way to brighten my oldest sons day, while he was away incarcerated/jail (although I liked to pretend he was away in Yale) 
😑. (If you have ever experienced having a child/loved one in jail or battling addictions you can probably agree with me, it is NOT a fun time in life!) I was living in a constant state of anxiety and uncertainty, I couldn't see from this space or place in my life what the future held for him or me. And I definitely couldn't see that I was going to start over to become an artist. But sometimes God turns our deepest pains into our biggest blessings (even though we can't see them at the time).

Art became a unique way of communication from the heART between my son and I. Weekly I would send homemade art cards to him in jail (made with love from mom) and he would send me hand drawn handkerchiefs (He is an amazing artist, I like to call him My Bebe Dali', because he is like a modern day Salvador Dali', his art is so real and it draws you in deeper the closer you look!).

I am happy to share that my son has been out of jail and is currently in a drug rehabilitation program called "Whatever it Takes". He is clean and sober and putting in the time, work and dedication to changing his life. (And I also want to thank the many amazing friends and family who have helped inspire and encourage me to pursue my passion as an artist this last year!)
I have been getting a lot of messages about where you can purchase my new line of EYEconic art cards. They are currently not available at any retailers, hopefully one day in the future they will be available for purchase!
If have a friend or loved one battling the chaos of change, Take the time to "send some love" and write from the heART 
. Use your words to encourage someone to keep going, to not give up buttercup. Imagine, dream and believe you have the power to make a difference in someone's life. ❤️ #lifeslessons #sendsomelove #believeinyourself #fun #funky #lookforaway #tobrightentheday #justbecause #dontgiveupbuttercup #takethetime #healyourmind #onedayatatime #recovery
