I call this one my “Healing Project.” I started this one when I was 5 weeks postpartum with the twins. I was itching to do something other than sit on a couch all day and nurse twin babies. I needed a creative escape and a means to find myself again. I set out to create this space intentionally slow and just enjoy the process—and slow it was. It took almost 4 months to complete. I taped every single stripe on the wall and boy did I hate myself in the moment but I’m so happy I persevered. It’s not often I have a vision that I bring to life just as it was in my head. But this, this is just that. And to me, it’s utterly magical.
