I would like to take the time to dedicate all my hard work to my mother. My biggest cheerleader in my art journey. The person who kept pushing me to keep going at it. The one always always always wanting to see what I had drawn or painted. My best friend and the shoulder I leaned on so many times. She was a light in my dark on so many days I needed it. She passed away on May 8, 2022, Mother’s Day, of lung cancer. The day before I held her hand almost all day and we told each other over and over that we loved each other. I knew our time was ending, but I never knew that it would hurt this bad. I love you Mom.
