NINETEEN || It was that many years ago that I started on this very winding path of Bliss. Over the years it has transformed from mostly bookbinding to becoming what I truly love, illustration. I am beyond grateful to everyone who has supported me through these 19 years. I am so grateful for the all the experiences it has given me and all the adventures yet to come. If I could hug you I would, but physical distancing...so when I can see you next expect one. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart ❤ . . . . . . . #watercolor #watercolorartist #illustration #illustrator #freelanceillustrator #artlicensing #artbuyer #surfacedesign #artdirector #creativedirector #editorialillustration #realisticdrawing #kristievargo #followyourbliss #beautyandbliss https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kBLhuB7uk/?igshid=1qpytdy3u5h67
