“In the beginning I wrote that I had never kept up with my sketchbooks so consistently and for so long. Admittedly, I still feel scared and like I'm not changing, not progressing, not growing. And yet, I look at that fat stack of sketchbooks, full of ideas, writings, literal scribbles, and also beautiful sketches, and I see pursuit, I see determination, and find my self wondering why was I scared at all? I have so much to feel proud of, and my art will always remind me that i'm "here" and the more I make the more I will see where I've been and where I want to go.”
