Even during my dormant years, I continued to find inspiration in nature. I spent majority of those three years focused on my finance career and my physical health. Do I regret I stopped painting altogether? Yes and no.

The longer I spent away from the easel, the scarier it became to go back. For two years, I created a single oil pastel piece which looking back is the perfect representation of the blooming opportunities that came into my life.
