A year ago I made the new year resolution to start my instagram account and start sharing my art more openly. So much has happened this year, it is quite hard to put it all in a few words. It started off by living the dream, traveling the world with my boyfriend while working as an artist. We travelled to Italy, Cyprus, Thailand and Japan and had saw so many incredible places and met wonderful people on the way. We weren't planning to stop any time soon but travel had to come to a sudden break when I got diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago. I started treatment at the end of October after coming back home to Scotland. Regardless of it all, I have done my best to keep sharing my journey with you, both the highs and the lows. I am glad that I never gave up and kept my resolution to post and make art no matter what happens. Deep down I hope that I can inspire other creators to share their work and start this journey next year. You're worth it and strong enough. Don't be afraid to post your work. It might be slow at first to get a response but stay positive. We're all waiting to see what you create.💕 #bestof2018 #bestnine #bestnine2018 #illo #illustration #artist #artistsoninstagram #procreate #procreateapp #digitaldrawing #drawing #digitalillustration #sketchoftheday #digitalart #topnine #topnine2018 #instagrambestnine #artbestnine https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYQo05FPN0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i2ht62n19zol
