Fan Mail
I listen to this while I’m painting and it gives me strength, thank you! I love the sentiment that if you know you must make art, just make it. I know it now, I knew it before - and I went off on a few tangents in between. You both help me make peace with it all. I’ve just got a new space and it’s very exciting. All the best to you both! @catherine_martin_makes.
