I have been having a bit of an artist’s existential crisis recently. Since we all went into our quarantine-esque state in March, I started working on more realistic looking portraits. I was looking back at the portraits I have created and had the dreaded thought, “oh my….these are riddled with flaws!”. All I could see when looking at these pieces that I was so proud of only a few months ago were flaws and mistakes. I then spent time pondering whether I should be glad I can see the flaws in my earlier pieces and see how much I’ve grown and enjoy my more recent portraits OR should I be embarrassed by what I should have clearly seen as mistakes. This is not the first time I have thought this about my art. I have spent the majority of my almost 27 years of life pursuing art. Sometimes I think I am not at the skill level I would like to be. It’s times like this where I need to remind myself to be proud of my work and my growth and how much I enjoy the process of creating my pieces.

Working on yet another portrait. This one is inspired by Diana the Huntress painted by Guillaume Seignac.
