I think what I love about ACEOs is that there is no overwhelming piece of paper or canvas glaring at you. I love that I can capture one thing, one blink, and cherish them, but also share them.
These are my first of hopefully many that I want to share with the art community and beyond!

I’m sure this is a topic that’s circulated numerous times, but man is it a tough one to navigate.
I was an active artist all the way through my first year of college. For reference, it’s been over 20 years since that time. I loved it. I lived it. It was what I had wanted to do since I was a starry-eyed child wishing to be a traditional animator for Disney.
My work was good, had a few pieces in shows and purchased, but I always struggled with needing it to be perfect.
It had to look exactly like the references or look like it was intended to look.
Needless to say, this has gotten even worse now when I’m trying to get back on the art horse.
I need to fight this headspace. But how? How do we clamour out of this way of looking at our talent and work?
