“What are you grateful for in your artistic journey?”

Last week, in my morning pages group writing prompt stopped me in my tracks:
“What are you grateful for in your artistic journey?”

I am always grateful for the paths that my art has lead me down. I am grateful that pursuing a creative career has really taught me how much everything we do in our lives is art. Sometimes gratitude hasn’t come easy when so much of my life has been spent feeling “too much” or “not enough.” But as I sat with it, I realized my art is the heartbeat of my gratitude.

Unbound: Reflections on My Anti-Diet Art Show

I am so honored and humbled by the response to my art show, Unbound. This project was incredibly personal, a collision of years of struggle with dieting, disordered eating, eating disorders, body shame, and ultimately, healing. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the experience of creating the show, what it meant to me, and the conversations it sparked.
