This last month has been simultaneously beautiful and chaotic. This is my first year has a schoolteacher, I am a kindergarten to 12th grade art teacher and yearbook advisor. I am infinitely grateful for the experiences. I am currently located in Tampa. My solo exhibition took place in the Casselbury area of Orlando, FL. The venue was cheerful, beautiful, and unforgivably welcoming. I am appreciative of the community that I have found there. And the friends who have found me.

The following day, we all went to a Turkish restaurant called Cappadocia. In short it’s the best thing ever. We also got free tea and hummus :)

And ofcrouse no trip to Orlando is complete without a trip to Jeremiah’s.
