10th Anniversary Message:
I’m still pretty young despite how much I joke about being old. I never expected art to become such a huge part of my life. If I’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that slow and steady progress is still progress. I honestly can’t wait to see how much my art will change and improve in the next ten years. Congrats on ten years Jenny!!
