So it has been a while since my last post and so much has changed...
Well for one, I have officially gone pro as a figure skater. I loved every minute of competition and am so grateful for all the opportunities I received as a double gold medalist. However, I recently got married in 2015 and the distance from my hubby was grueling and I gave my Olympic one last shot but unfortunately due to financial collapse lost my sponsorship and was not able to compete as needed. Anyway .... If I can be completely honest I moved back to Florida with my husband and fell into a dark depression =( I couldn't wrap my head around everything that had happened and the feeling of deep loss I had realizing my intense 6 years of training away from family didn't have a happy ending in fact it had a tragic ending. I was angry at everything and everyone and I didn't want to be creative or share my talents any longer. Fortunately, I did find comfort in drawing a skill I never really explored but always had a love for as my grandpa was a local artist and brilliant. He passed away a few years ago but I discovered in my time of mourning that his gift lived in me as well. So for the past year I have been drawing a lot and it has really helped heal my soul and refresh my creative mojo... Here are some of my latest drawings and an updated selfie, If you like my art you can follow me at https://www.instagram.com/happylittleartspace/
