A Confession

I have a confession to make.

I love my life, yet I crave to get away from it once in a while. I love my family, but I need my space away from them, both physically and pscyhologically. Lately, I feel like I am barely surviving with all the mental to-do list and the sheer amount of day-to-day activities that involves keeping family afloat. And I do not sleep well due to baby Elise waking up at least twice a night.

I am barely surviving. Yet, in my head, I always have one to do list that I never seem to get to, which ends up being the source of my discontent over time. That to do list is making art. Any form of art-- whether it's drawing, collaging, painting, or even re-arranging Amelia's artwork.. I have to do something creative alone. That's the only way I can calm myself down and find energy and courage to be the person I need to be. The person my daughters need me to be.

I have to do this everyday.. I have to create everyday..

for my daughters, Amelia and Elise, as well as for myself..

6 Years

 Happy 6th Birthday to Amelia on January 11, 2012. I couldn't ask for a better daughter.

Drawing an App on the tablet

This is going to change the way I draw. I wonder why what I draw naturally turns abstract and darker?
