Discover how I realized I’ve always been an artist, even if I never labeled myself as one. From childhood crafts to painting as a hobby, I was always an artist

It started with a paint-and-sip night, a moonlit palm tree, and a glittery canvas. That first painting unlocked something in me—and I haven’t stopped since.

I’ve spent years following paths others laid out for me—but this time, I’m choosing my own. I’m walking the road of art, not because I’m already an expert, but because my heart says it’s time.

In this blog post, I share the heartfelt story behind my very first completed sketchbook, created as a special gift for my husband, Curtis.
