I loved the art class. Should've been my sign.

I can't say that I was born a talented artist, but I did come into this world with a passion for creativity and a superpower of visualisation.

For as long as I can remember, I was drawing and decorating my notebooks, the walls of my room, tabletops, and even my own skin. I love drawing, painting, photography, writing, and creating things with my own two hands. I've always been a DIY-kinda-gal, but lately I bought a sewing machine and made my dog a winter jacket. 

I get an idea and a desire to make it. And it's always been this way. 

These artworks are here for the fun of it. I like to look back at my childhood art and remind myself that the world is not so serious, and that I can be a beginner and make shitty art. Also, it makes me laugh.

Looks like I always knew I would live on a boat, next to an island, surrounded by palm trees.
