I like seeing my progression over time. Collage began for me with vision boards, and turned into only images.

“Every interaction is a chance to improve the future. A new world is possible.”
“There is still good, kindness, and care in this world - right here, right now, between us in this moment. Wishing you ease and hope.”
“You are… loved, worthy, needed… Just As You Are.”
