A Mind-Blowing Full-Circle Moment! 🥹🎨 (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

I just had to jump on here and share an unbelievable story that happened this week. It completely blew me away and reminded me exactly why I love being an artist.

A lovely collector named Cindy recently purchased a new painting from my Etsy shop. When it arrived, she sent me a sweet message saying how much she loved it. She also mentioned that she has always been drawn to lupines because her grandmother used to have fields of them around her house in Lubec, Maine.

Then, she sent over a photo of another lupine painting she had bought years and years ago on eBay, just to show me a piece she’s cherished for a long time.

You guys... I looked at the photo, looked down at the corner, and caught my breath. It was my own signature.

I painted that original piece many years ago(2009)! It had found its way onto eBay, into her hands, and onto her wall, where she loved it for years without either of us realizing the connection. Fast forward to now, and she found me all over again on Etsy entirely by chance.

As an artist, you send your work out into the world and often wonder where it lands. To know that a piece I created so long ago has been holding special memories of her grandmother and Maine all this time... there are no words.

I wanted to share this little piece of magic with you all today. Thank you for being part of my journey and letting me share my art with you. It means the world!
