The New Year Has Arrived

The new year is here, and while I may not feel fully prepared, I’m excited about the possibilities ahead. I’ve been updating my website to better reflect my vision and creative journey. I’ve also started blogging to share my passions and encourage meaningful discussions, with a comment section for your thoughts. To make staying connected easy, I’ve added a subscription box for updates delivered straight to your inbox.

This year, I’m prioritizing my website as my main platform and moving away from social media channels that don’t align with my values. Think of it as a classic boycott—aligning my actions with my principles. Taking control of how I share my work feels empowering, giving me the freedom to create a space that’s authentic and free from negative influences.

I’ve realized that social media has never quite worked for me. Trying to keep up has often left me feeling drained and unfocused. As an artist, this constant engagement disrupts the deep creative process I need to fully immerse myself in.

Social media has also hindered my creative flow. While inspiration is valuable, too much of it can overwhelm or blur original ideas, sometimes leading to feelings of stagnation or unintentional imitation. And the pressure to showcase my process online often takes away from the joy of simply creating—it can make the work feel less genuine.

By stepping back from social media, using it more mindfully, and focusing on offline activities that nurture my creativity, I’m creating an environment where my ideas can truly thrive. Creativity needs time, space, and freedom from distractions to grow.

I’m genuinely excited to focus on my website as the main place to share my work. This feels like a fresh start, one that aligns with my goals and vision while allowing my creativity to flourish.
