✺ MAKER MOMENTS

Introducing one of my fav illustrations I’ve made—a happy-go-lucky sloth chilling out in a fast-paced world. I created this piece during a visual storytelling class, aiming to capture the essence of slowing down and enjoying life's little moments. It's a reminder to take a breath, relax, and appreciate the simple joys around us. So grab a cozy spot, unwind, and let's embrace the sloth life together!

✺ INSPIRATION EVERYWHERE

Cj Hendry's 'Public Pool' Exhibition

I'm a huge fan of CJ Hendry, and her latest creation is simply mesmerizing. Imagine a public pool transformed into an art exhibition, with CJ's bold and vibrant colors bringing the space to life.

CJ Hendry's newest exhibition, Public Pool, is making a splash at Sandy Valley Ranch, Nevada from April 5 – 7. Picture this: a desert oasis transformed into a lively Vegas-style pool party, complete with a giant inflatable pool adorned with pink flamingos and neon inflatables. It's a whimsical escape into a world of fun and fantasy, where visitors can dive into joy and wonder.
