Zwischen roten Akzenten und blauen Linien entsteht mehr als nur Schrift – es entsteht Kunst. ❤️💙
Jeder Schwung erzählt seine eigene Geschichte, jede Farbe trägt ihre eigene Stimmung.

Kalligrafie ist für mich Ruhe, Ausdruck und Leidenschaft zugleich.
Wie wirken Rot und Blau auf euch zusammen? ✨

A client reach out to me on behalf of her mother who wanted pieces created that gave a nod to a 1935 copy of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam that she owns. Since she can’t give all four of her daughters the one book, she asked me to create 4 pieces each of a different favorite stanza in a style reminiscent of her copy.

My last New Year's resolution was to improve my art as much as possible and I would definitely consider my resolution kept. I've never drawn this much in one year. I usually have 2-3 hyperfixations at the same time but this year I was only hyperfixated on drawing because my skill development opened a deeper level of self expression for me that feels more satisfying than ever. Now I'm drawing whenever I can and when I'm not drawing I'm thinking about drawing.

My resolution for next year will be the same as last time. I already have my brain filled with ideas and an endless drive to create.

Happy New Year 2026!
Hyvää Uutta Vuotta 2026

I've been super motivated to draw lately because of my upcoming art exhibition next January.

I have such high standards for myself it's very hard for me feel proud of my art. Pride comes in waves for me. When I finish an artwork I tend to experience only a brief "that's pretty nice"-moment that wears off fast. I feel most proud of my pictures when I look at them months after finishing them. Seeing my art framed on a gallery wall and witnessing live reactions from other people helps tremendously to shift my perspective into a positive one. That's when I truly appreciate my skills and the images I have created with my own hands. Support and compliments from my loved ones (and strangers too of course) has also boosted my confidence as an artist a lot.

I'd rather be too self critical than oblivious to my faults but sometimes doing art feels like playing a modern FPS game with skill-based matchmaking - every time my skills evolve my standards also raise so fast it's sometimes hard to appreciate my skills.

Daily Tao – Sept 3
Forgot to center myself in the Way this morning.
Felt it—the restlessness, the ache—because I didn’t start in flow.

The Tao isn’t born, so it never dies. It wants nothing, so it contains everything.

Let go—not to vanish, but to make space. For grace. For others. For quiet return.

“Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.” —Tao Te Ching, Ch. 7
