Through the Fog

They say that artists “feel more”. Maybe that’s the only way we’re able to make the art.

Honestly, a lot of this year has felt like living in fog. I think we all have seasons like that, and for me, the postpartum period is definitely one of them. It’s a lot of hazy days and sleepless nights. Beauty sprinkled in the chaos. But also, a lot of breaking.

There are times in our lives that break us down to our core. And only then—when every inch of us feels shattered—can we begin to pick up the pieces. Only then do we rebuild the newest version of ourselves. Broken, and stitched, and stronger.

In the thick of it is such a hard place to be. But eventually the fog begins to lift, and it’s clear as day: sometimes the breaking is necessary for the becoming.

Creating this collection has been a lifeline for me. A way to let out all my big artist feelings onto the canvas. These paintings serve as a reminder that even when life feels foggy, there’s beauty in the haze too. And often, it’s through the fog that we find our truest selves.

I hope you’re able to find meaning in these pieces too. And when you look at them, you don’t just see art, you feel it
