Artist Statement: My inspiration for my this work was my own insecurities. For a long time I was very insecure about my freckles and my side profile. I wanted to make something that showcased how much I've grown to love them and how beautiful they can be. It's kind of hard to see but I made a mistake of having the freckles come off my shoulder and I loved it so much I couldn't remove it.

Artist Statement: I chose the name because in the piece the couple is supposed to be sharing a good morning kiss with a bit of light coming into the room.
I chose to draw this digitally because it's the medium that I'm most skilled in and the one I'm most confident with.
The idea for the piece came from a daydream I had one day.
I started by sketching out rough shapes and then sketching in some details.
Once I finished sketching I made a new layer and started working on the line art and colouring. I finished the piece by doing the shading and lighting.
The mood of the piece is supposed to be soft and warm yet romantic.
I hope the viewer can remember a happy memory with someone they care about.
This piece is significant because it shows that I am developing more as an artist.
