I'm a painter from the beautiful West Indies. I love colors and textures. I started painting at age 4 and have kept doing it everyday.

A big weekend with Alec. We plan to do these a lot more. I love going to galleries they recharge me.

How to use sumo ink sticks

It’s really easy to make but takes a little arm strength to grind it out.

Yasutomo is my ink of choice.

Hola Galeras,

It was such a cool day yesterday that I needed to rest up.

I remember this timeline. 😂 it feels like such a long time ago since I was making art like this. Feels nice to run my fingers through it.

I have enjoyed this painting. I wish I felt better while I was making it. I’ve been fighting off a cold after my vaccine. I’m immunocompromised so it’s important that I get vaccinated because if I get sick, it messes me up real bad.

No fear though I’m better.
