So far this year I have been very inspired. Even more than usual, I would say! I’ve been home a lot more than I usually am, and perhaps because of that I’ve had more time to consistently fall into a routine that makes me feel good.

I want so badly to be a woodland creature, spending my time among the animals, communing with them. Self-portraiture allows for that to be a reality. When I create I’m often running back and forth between my spot where I’m posing…
