Gypsy tattoo

Sometimes we reach those points in our lives where we've overcome, where we look around and realize our world has changed because we willed it to. One year ago my life was in pieces and i was living on my best friend's couch, collecting those pieces of what was my old life and what was to become my new life.

Today I'm in new relationships. With friends. With home. With work. With myself. With my art. I'm creating again. And more. And there's light again in my life. I turned a year older last month and went on a vacation to visit a beautiful, kind and creative friend who breathed new air into me and pushed out the stale bits. I began a new career. And life has taken on direction with me at the wheel.

To honor that, I now have my first large tattoo. A beautiful gypsy to represent finding a sense of home and self wherever I am. To new paths and the wisdom of the traveler. To a sense of family, no matter blood relation. To new vivid color in my life.



Many thanks to the incredible and insanely talented James Clements for his beautiful work and patience.
