*****Hands of Praise**********Beautiful Rest*****To summarize-I am SPIRITUAL, ARTSY, CLASSY, COOL, INTELLIGENT,PASSIONATE, AND DRIVEN. I used to be a teacher and I am now doing art full-time. Next to painting, my other passion is singing- I love to sing. I am a very focused individual(everyday Im hustlin) and I love to laugh(loudly).I'll leave you with this:"Dare yourself to believe in your creativity, wherever it may lead you. Trust that where it leads is exactly where you're supposed to be. Your authentic self knows where you're headed. Don't wrestle with Spirit. Collaborate with it."— Sarah Ban BreathnachPrayer Hat
