Holidays give me a chance to look at my life with fresh eyes and realign with my goals. Just like my artistic process, when I take a step back I get to see what works and what doesn’t. Through holidays I get to appreciate what I have and I find gratitude for everything including the chance to travel and immerse myself in things that I don’t typically get to do in Ghana (like walking on the street surrounded by ancient buildings and visiting a museum).

Read my latest blog post about the importance of well spent holidays and what they can do for a creative life.

In January I started Studio Notes - a monthly emai

In January I started Studio Notes - a monthly email I send to my subscribers with behind the scenes details about what I am working on in the studio and the treasures I have found during the month. These treasures include books, videos and a lot more things that have made me happy during the month.

These emails are the perfect way for us to stay connected in a space that feels more personal than instagram… a place that lets me share my thoughts and processes with you without feeling overwhelmed by the silly algorithm and the pressure to perform as other artists on here!

It would mean the world to me if you could subscribe to my newsletter by following the link in my bio!

And if you have made it all the way here you are amazing! 😂⭐️⭐️

Believe it or not but I have been working on this

I have set some deadlines for myself but I always tend to push them as I tell myself I have to finish some ‘client work’ but I have finally decided that I will work on my illustrations every single day until they are done! Please help me stick to this plan 🤣🤣

Do you have something you have been working on for a long time and it feels like it is never ending? I would love to know in the comments below!
