I started drawing digitally in December 2020 on my phone. I was so excited to show the world my art. I began an instagram and a small business. At first I was really motivated to begin this journey, but a while later I began losing hope and got consumed in my school life. I drew less and took a break.
I rediscovered my love for art when I started journaling in April 2022. During the time I was going through a rollercoaster of emotion. I got rejected to all my schools that I applied to and wanted to give up in getting a Master's, but I knew this wasn't me to just give up so I tried again. This time I got into a distance Master's program, it wasn't my top 3 choice or even a place I ever dreamed of going, but I felt happy and at the same time I felt overwhelmed and stressed with all my ToDo's, new job, and studying I would need to do.
Art became a space for me relax and take my mind off from reality. I enjoyed this space I created. I graduated and got an iPad to reward myself. And let me tell you drawing on an iPad is completely different than drawing on my phone haha.
My dream now is to make my art my reality.
Love,
Erica
