Lotus Be Art
This moment in my life marks the fulfillment of a lifelong dream—to live and work as an artist.
​
I've spent a career in journalism, and loved it! Then I got Covid, and suddenly I couldn't do what I had always done, to push past my physical limitations and get the job done. The impact this had on my mental health can't be overstated, and I spent more than a year climbing out of that pit of depression, anxiety and fear.
​
One of the things I did for my mental health was to return to my first love, making art. I had always done it as a hobby, between the cracks of raising four children and a bustling career. Now I was doing it to keep me sane, and to give me a reason to get out of bed as the business I had built crumbled around me as my health declined. I did drawings and paintings by the hundreds, and resurrected a long-buried dream of making a living as an artist.
