Throwback Thursday Memory:
In 2018, I doubted myself in my Drawing I class after being assigned to transform a character into a Day of the Dead-inspired piece of artwork. I chose Winnie the Pooh, but I honestly didn’t think my work would be accepted into our college art gallery.
Needless to say, it was.
I’m so grateful my instructor pushed me to trust my gifts, skills, and ability to draw, and encouraged me to begin the submission process. I truly couldn’t believe it. Taking that leap of faith allowed me to experience seeing my artwork displayed among so many talented artists, and it remains such a special moment in my journey.
