I am so happy to share with you what a day in my life looks like!
There are a bunch of things I do differently some days, like shoot videos or paint murals and I don't work at the bar every single day, but this is how a typical day in my life looks like.
Kuddos to all the artists out there who have a day job in order to pay the bills while pursuing their art careers/dreams, like me.
I would love to hear some of your stories in the comments and let me know if there are any other videos you'd like to see from me.
Thanks for watching :)

Lots of artists have a day job and no one in youtube wants to admit that. They develope here a myth of "fulltime artist", drinking tea in pyjamas and shipping orders. Thank you for sharing that!
Hey Viktoria! I do drink tea in pijamas and ship orders some day tho
I'm not sure it's a total myth. It's definitely an exaggeration. I think most artists hide just how much work they put into their stuff and make it look a thousand times easier than it is. I think many of them either don't have kids and are in stable places that make this sort of thing easier than it is for others. Many of them might have trustfunds or other ventures and other jobs, if for no other reason than the need for human contact.
Carly Crays Or, another possibility: You are a fulltime „artist“, but you learned a specific craft you can offer. I for myself see me as an artist and I AM a freelancer. But I studied animation, so I can offer this craft to film studios etc.
So technically, I am 100% freelance and work my own schedule, BUT I do get commissions, which help bring in a good amount of money, which (currently) I wouldn’t have with ONLY doing my drawing, paintings, etc. It is not a 9-5 thing, but it has a similarity.
So, the opportunity to shape your art into commissioned jobs like animating, illustrating etc is a good way to get in a chunk of money, to support yourself, while also continuing your other draws, because commissioned work comes and goes, the daytime job just stays :)
The better you do as an artist, the less commissions you need to take. Or you might even prefer commissioned creative work, as it feels like little group projects. It has a stressy side although, not gonna lie. But it’s cool also ^^
@@Nonorama Good point. I guess I just sort of considered this as part of the artist thing, though. Most art UA-camrs have commissions or a Patreon and online stores and affiliate links. That's where the money. UA-cam is just a great way to make those work. Very few people can live on ad money alone, especially with UA-cam's changes.
@@rosesweetcharlotte Agreed. UA-cam is developing into more of a portfolio, documentation and platform to show that you're there, interact with your community and stuff.
So for everyone asking about my sleep: When I bartend I go to bed at 1am, and I don't wake up at 5.30 next day, I usually wake up around 8am the day after bartending. I don't bartend every day, and the days I don't I wake up at 5.30 the next day, which is 4-5 times a week. Much love!
Oh my gah! Thanks for clarifying. I was all wtf she's not human. Or I'm a piece of shit and lazy. I remember working my old job I'd have to be there 5am and if I didn't go to bed by 9/10 id be a hot mess. This was so great to stumble upon. I have missed out in incorporated spiritual practice in my studio practice. I lost that somewhere. I'll work on it again. Thanks
So you only bartend 2 or 3 days per week?
Believe or not, there's a lot of people in Brazil that just sleep 4 or 5 hours a day. Thanks God I don't have to do it anymore!
Thank you for existing! love from Korea.
@Free Speech Her work is gorgeous, and she's clearly a multi-cultural woman. Live and let live.
“Every job is holding a lesson for us.”
I needed to hear that today. Oftentimes I get so down about having to work a lousy desk job while I pursue my art on the side. But attitude is everything, and I try to remind myself to see the good in my situation, that this is only for the meantime.
This is a lovely account. Your day is similar to mine. I am much older than you but when I was young and raising my kids alone I cleaned houses for cash. Now I am 73 and semi retired but I try and get into my studio each day. I love your paintings by the way.
Much luck on your journey. ❤️
Your life is art. You are art. This was so calming and inspirational ❤️
Tru dat.
You art is ❤️ too.
This is the second time I watch this video. I’m an artist with a day-job as well, sometimes I feel really depressed because I just want to be a full-time artist and do what I love everyday, and knowing that is still not possible put me in desperation sometimes, today is a really sad morning because last night was a really stressful day at work, this morning I woke up thinking about this video and I watched again, is so calming and is so amazing how much love you use to put in that day job (I know you are now a full-time artist) and how everything just flow for you because you put so much effort and patience in everything that you do, thank you for showing the reality of so many artist in here, it makes me feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one. If you read all my comment I sent you all the love and light and I hope you achieve all your dreams ✨
Thank you for sharing dear caro. you are really inspiring ! inspite of working in the evenings , you manage to wake up early and work on your artists the entire day! you are awesome. i too love waking up early
i wake up at 4 am
i’ve been watching you since your full moon ritual video- cannot express my gratitude to you enough! this makes me feel very seen as a creative.. who also happens to pay bills. your influence is truly captivating ✨
Girl! I jut discovered your channel. This is the 2nd video of yours I’ve watched and I’m in love with what you present. Your so positive and admirable.
I’m another artist with a day job, a whole series of them over many years. I couldn’t work in a bar though, mine have been office and library jobs. Nice to see other artists working their two lives, though mine haven’t always been happy together. Thank you for sharing your artists life, I feel it’s lifted my spirits a little today to see it.
This is me too. Working two jobs and also slaying my art career goals. It's possible and it's worth it to have steady income.
awesome!!!!!
Can you give some advice on how you balance this? If you don't mind me asking what's your daily routine look like?
I'd like to know as well, if you don't mind. :)
How old are u? :P
How to sell art
Holy cow we are not alone!!! It’s so refreshing to see this in not just your video but other artist in the comments as well ! It’s totally realistic and reassuring that you can still be a “ artist” and be working a second and or third job! And just like that I’m a little more great full at the start of my day thank you! ✨
I’m literally in tears. You are the most inspiring woman I’ve ever seen. Idk if you can connect through a video, but my soul has been touched. I’ve been depressed and not working or doing anything for 16 months and today watching you hustle and work and still maintain time for your art and all while making your soul shine, has given me hope and motivation to be the woman I know I really am. I’m so grateful for you and your existence. Know that you have moved me.
This has inspired me so much! Normally when I watch videos from artists they are very unrealistic about how they manage to live from making art, which makes me think it is an impossible goal and so I haven’t been creating lately. Now you have shown me the reality and how much joy it brings to your life I can feel my creative juices kicking in again! So what if I have to do a job to pay bills, at least in my own time I can do all these things that make me happy. You’ve also inspired me to not take creating so seriously, that not everything I make has to be sold, not to be afraid of not having a particular style and instead have fun playing with it. Thank you, I needed this today 😊💕
I agree completely 😌🙏💕
Such Balance and discipline. Love your videos the lighting the details even all the little jars and plants you have around.more please while continuing your journey. Eres bella
gracias rosamary que bella!!!!
Thank you so much for making this Video. This was so inspiring to me, that it is possible to be abundant with a non fulltime job and working on art most of the time. And I will really try to remind me of your perspective on jobs as well. Thanks for the precious life perspectives!! 😊
This is possibly the simplest creative idea where you balanced all your life with the struggles put together to feel your own presence in your life. This makes me feel so happy and satisfying.
I'm relieved you mentioned how challenging it can be to have meaningful conversations and make sure orders are correct. Kudos to you! Hard work and you look graceful doing it ✨
This is the second time I watch this video. I’m an artist with a day-job as well, sometimes I feel really depressed because I just want to be a full-time artist and do what I love everyday, and knowing that is still not possible put me in desperation sometimes, today is a really sad morning because last night was a really stressful day at work, this morning I woke up thinking about this video and I watched again, is so calming and is so amazing how much love you use to put in that day job (I know you are now a full-time artist) and how everything just flow for you because you put so much effort and patience in everything that you do, thank you for showing the reality of so many artist in here, it makes me feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one. If you read all my comment I sent you all the love and light and I hope you achieve all your dreams ✨
You are so very centered. I was surprised that you bartend, as is the opposite of your routine, but I suppose it keeps balance! Art is a peaceful place of contentment and self gratitude. I know, as find it there myself. I am not as zen or should I say holistic perhaps, as you. Something I should work on, to stay calm. Blessings your way, dear! 🌹❤️
I love how you take pride in everything you do like making a drink! You are so right it’s the energy you put out in the universe.
I have just joined your life. Your work is beautiful. I like the color on the black background. You share many ways to maintain being grounded in a life routine. I appreciate your sharing.
I watch this video every day to motivate me
I don't even know how I got to your page, but I'm really glad that happens. And I think it's actually the 1st time I even write a comment on youtube. You are amazing : your work, the way you talk about it, about life, how you chose to live, your calm, your energy. You're an inspiration for sure. Bravo
This is the first video I've seen and I'm already subscribing. I love your art, energy, and strength it's difficult working 2 jobs. Much love to you hope all good things go your way 💕
oh my goodness. Thank you so much for this. I just got home from a long shift, looking to explore youtube more to share my art and I came across this video. I work 3-4 nights a week at a busy restaurant in Chicago and the mornings i have gotten up early to go to the gym, phone off etc have always been my most productive and positive with my artwork and mental space at home before I go in for a shift at night. Thank you for confirming a routine that i know in my head works, but you have inspired me to commit to it. And thank you for the amazing mindset about your bartending job and the side hustle, helping more than you know right now and you and your work are beautiful! Keep inspiring!
You are a shining example of someone living out their soul's purpose. Amazing. ❤❤❤
Wow you seem like such a genuine, well balanced person! It’s refreshing to see an artist who promotes healthy choices. I especially appreciated you talking about your day job and how it helps you “let go of momentary drama.” I love my day job too and I feel like it’s made me better at being more present and mature because you have people who rely on you.
This was one of the most wholesome and eye opening videos I have ever watched on UA-cam. Your energy and positivity is incredibly infectious. I work 8-5 usually more like 7-6 with overtime. And it is so hard to keep track of my art and my love to create. Art is my therapy, my biggest struggle and my ultimate comfort. Your video helped me remember that even when I'm tired, I should be creating because I was blessed with the ability to see and with hands that love to create. Thank you so much for your Hussle and calm. I'm gonna to be rooting so hard for you! Much love ❤️
I’ve always felt incapable of being a full time artist and sort of like a fraud because of it. When I don’t have a day job I fall into an existential spiral that’s hard to get out of. I need to provide a service directly to other people in order to feel content and art doesn’t always have a direct connection like that.
In my eyes it's just wonderful that you found that out about yourself :) For me that's what is about: Feel in which of my actions are filled with love and then do them a lot - without letting myself being judged by the ideas and ideals of my mind....or other's minds.
You just summarised exactly what I've just discovered about myself (at 39!) - I work a normal job 3 days a week and also do art every single day of the week, but without the regular job I'd be miserable. Some structure to my week keeps me sane and motivated to make the most of my 'art' time. This is fascinating stuff!
I need to tell how you inspired me: For me you are an exemple, you give me so learning about how to live actively my artistic-witch in my way life. I listen your videos again and again with mood I try to cast or work or my spiritual and more... to give my power, grouwth, be happy- construct my happiness, my mindfulness. You are like a teacher for me. Great thanks to you to be here on this world.
At the beginning of your video, I thought misleading title and I started to get annoyed but I kept watching to see your day unroll. I saw you work a tough shift bar tending. I know how hard I washed dishes at night in a busy restaurant. Then you took care of yourself, then you did your art. All in a calm reflective way and that is what I learnt from you. I'm too manic and put too much pressure on myself so my art suffers. Thank you and may the best of life follow you all your days :)
Your autenticity is so beautiful !
Your habit of being grateful and appreciate the things around you, for sure brings a lot peace to your life... and we can see it in your work 😍👏🏽🙌🏼!
Keep focus on your dreams and I can see you fly!!
I feel lucky to be too disabled to work, even though the daily pain is uncomfortable and exhausting. I am able to pursue art full time, using all my free time to grow my skills as well as enjoy the art of others. I am lucky to live with my girlfriend's family rent-free and am on SSI. I realize what a blessing I have been given, though many people do not see it that way and pity me. I may face physical and financial difficulties for my entire life, but I will spend that life doing what I love.
This video was so legit, and I found myself most drawn to the honesty. I'm a person who can very much get wrapped in myself. Someone mentioned "centered" in the comments, and I think that's a great word to describe the essence of this video. I likewise work a swing shift, and this current job has allowed me the ability to still have time for creativity, rest, my spiritual well-being, among other things.
This video shows a wonderful example of balancing life, in and outside of it all.
You are amazing ! You are seriously making a difference in the thinking of others by sharing what you’ve learned in such a calming and down to earth way! I cannot imagine the amount of work you have put into this one video alone let alone an entire channel. You are fabulous .... thank you for sharing
Thank you! You have inspired me, and artist to artist that’s so special! Xx
Ver tus videos me trasmite tu hermosa energía, cada vez que subes uno nuevo mi corazón se alegra. Vas a llegar a enormes cosas porque eres paciente y muy trabajadora, a real hustler and inspiration for all of us ❤️ buenas vibras!
Great video✌️, I am also a creative, I get up at 5:30am week days, meditate, do art for 1 hour, then exercise either yoga or swimming, then I go to my 8am til 4:30pm j.o.b (as a storeman for a good company) doing art at lunch or whenever I have net time in the mobile studio, then after work I workout usually yoga or calisthenics, then go home and watch nba league pass or play music and do more art then dinner and sleep. I also only eat 2 meals per day at 12 and 6 which keeps me healthy. 😘
Hey Carol! I'm just so happy that the Universe seems to know what I needed today and your video appeared on my timeline! You have just inspired me to embrace my creative self and never be afraid to grow that side of me. I grew up having my creativity constantly judged and stifled, I'm finding my courage to let that fear go. Thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life and how you support it by being realistic. You have helped me to move closer to appreciating my own creative being! Love your art universe!!🎇🎈
When I started working as an intern in a fast-paced city, I knew I'd get stuck in traffic or I'd have longer commute time. Like you I made sure that my 2-4 hours are spent well. I read, listen to music, and if I have a good spot on the bus, I sketch. Your video is very calming, and hopeful. Thank you for this :)
Your videos are so calming, inspiring, and tranquil. They help me refocus my own energy and intention in my actions. Very beautiful ! Thank you!
I watched this on Christmas day. To say the least it was an unexpected gift. I used 2 live in New York. Not a day goes by that I don't think about that time when I, too was a bartender. I also attended Parsons and the New School. You have clearly crafted a life with determination and clarity but what stands out 2 me the most is your inner peace. Please keep that throughout your journey as it will sustain and protect you. Thank you so much 4 motivating me. Peace and live 2 u and your family.
you inspire me so much - you are filled with so much wisdom
So cool! You are definitely on the right path! Very inspiring.
This has really inspired me, I see the power in discipline and practice you put onto your work and it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing such a real and honest video, I work full time and I'm artist, I am also spiritual and love to live my life in gratitude, like yourself, its refreshing to hear you talk about the lessons you learn from work, as that is how I see my life too, work gives me grounding and structure and actually helps support my art work, gives me the peace of mind and balance to create, blessings x
I love your video. It's satisfying and comforting to see others living their lives creatively while balancing the responsibilities of outside work. I appreciate the tie in to the importance of your job, not as a way to make a pay check but the service you provide in helping others enjoy their time off. What a beautiful way to see the world.
I now admire you so much. I work as a barista during the day and paint at night, definitely, you're so much more centered and mindful than I am and now I learned a lot about headspace. Think is what we all artist with a dayjob need to keep going. Thank you for sharing this and happy holidays
this video and seeing you in your routine, it just dropped my mind in the center of my body again...you inspire in me peace, balance and a sense of fulfillment. Thank you so very much for who you Are and the way you choose to act in Life ! much love for u!
This is pretty inspiring. I work full time at a coffee shop typically doing closing shifts so I usually am working from early afternoon until late evening and I've always felt like it takes away my whole day and that I can't do any art or anything else that I want to do, but you make balance seem so much more attainable. I don't know if I could do what you do (work late at a bar and get up at 5:30am) but it does make what I have to do seem a lot easier.
this is the most soothing and relaxing video I've watched that isn't asmr and it's beautiful
I love your approach to life! More of us need to make time for self care and reflection in our daily lives. Also, the painting you are working on is stunning...beautiful work!!
I love this video so much. I usually watch it once every couple of months, it is so relaxing. Please do more of these.
Estoy enamorada de tus palabras, de tu arte, de tu belleza salvaje, del vintage bar donde trabajas.... hace 2 o 3 días que descubrí tu canal y estoy eternamente agradecida, me alegro mucho de decirte que ya tienes una subscriptora maaasss. Yo también creo arte pintando y escribiendo, y sin duda alguna, eres una de mis mayores inspiraciones. Infinitaaaasss graciiiiaaasss. Te quierooo. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜✨✨❤️😍🔮🌸😊
You know what... You totally got me thinking about my day job while I pursue my art career too! You have such a balanced POV! Thank you!!
I am a professional illustrator and I so often feel lost in time and unable to feel as if I am living with purpose and balance. Thank you for sharing this video and speaking with such compassion about difficult days. Your warmth and positivity helped me feel like I am not alone in my struggle finding balance as a creator between the hectic outside world and the meditative inner one.
Your philosophy concerning the way you engage into your job as bartender and I imagine in another job you would act the same, just warmed my heart!
I am much a dreamer and the way you engage in simple tasks with a earthy and spiritual and loving will inspires me!
Much love ❤️
I love that you sit on the floor with books and art supplies all around you, that happens to me so much and sometimes I wondered if that was just me, it’s also nice to see that you sometime look at or read things in order to get inspired, I prefer looking, reading and music. I feel like so many people make videos and it appears as though they don’t even have to think about what they want to create
Thanks for sharing, for keeping it real that being a creative often involves doing some other work to help fuel the finances and creative projects. Glad to hear that you have a beautiful attitude of gratitude and creativity. Wishing you every success! 😘
Watching your videos is like art coming alive. Something inside comes alive too.❤ There's warmth and integrity. Life unfolds. So moved.
Thank you for making such a down-to-earth video. I’m a server, mostly during nights, after being in class and lately I’ve been feeling like my art practice is suffering, but your tips really helped me and seeing another artist who is making it work, even on not so great days, with discipline and planning is reassuring!!!
Your perspective on your day job might be the most meaningful thing I've heard about work. and it might help me to actually go back to work. Thank you!
I think this is exactlyyy the message I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for sharing! Your videos always inspire me.
so good to hear this!!!
Me too💚
This video almost felt sacred. Through out the video I felt this tingling sensation around my heart chakra...hard to describe. Inspiring to say the least. I love that the same energy you bring into your work as an artist is also reflected in ur day to day life, your routine, in your second bartending job. You pour in as much love & dedication into it even though its simply a job to pay ur bills and not necessarily ur passion. You seem to embrace this as a part of ur path because you are able to support urself as an artist through this job, which is very commendable. You wrap that space with similar sacredness & respect as you emit while engaging in artistic endeavours. Keep the outstanding work coming and keep inspiring the universe with ur passion, authenticity & realness.
This is so relatable, I’m a creative at heart. I was studying nursing in Uni for a year and a half and was also diagnosed with dyslexia. Studying has always been hard for me. But I’ve also been in the hospitality industry since I was 16 (currently 21). I took up bartending when I turned 18 (even though I’m straight edge) and it’s also allowed to flex my creative muscles. I found through hospitality I’ve helped create a form of art conceptually. Creating an experience for a customer is a form of art to me, it’s my passion and it was hard not to stray away from my creative mind.
This video was so soothing. Thank you so much for sharing this and letting us into your practice. It’s very inspirational and inspires me to create my own spiritual creative practice. I’m realizing how important it is ♥️
What a beautifully evolved and sensitive thoughtful soul you are💜it filled me with so much joy to have a little glimpse of what your life is like as a grounded, gorgeous human being and deeply gifted artist. Thank you for being so real, so gentle and so generous in sharing your world with us 🙏🦋💛
Thank you so much for uploading this! It's wonderful to see you working with a day job that gives you the flexibility you need to live as an artist. And your daily spiritual and artistic practice is so similar to how I work that it both inspires and encourages me to keep continuing with being myself instead of some false like-able persona. (I also live with a lot of plants and I often wonder if I'm doing something wrong in spending time caring for them all … like am I supposed to spend all my time working still I drop??) I feel so much pressure over money and expectations to severely modify my life in order to monetizing it so I can fit in with all those "fake it till you make it" people that it makes me feel like an utter failure for failing to comply with social media standards of what is popular. I'v been overwhelmed and hiding from it all for some time but seeing your video showed me that a balanced artistic life IS possible without sacrificing my sanity or my sense of self.
This was so inspiring to watch :) Especially right before the new year where I'm trying to plan out how my year's going to go. Also seeing that you have another job on top of art was also really motivating. It makes me feel a little less bad about the fact that I might need a job as well after school before I find my place in the industry and it's okay. I can still be happy with that! Your view on work is just inspiring.
Thank you for coming to my life just in this difficult moment for me. Knowing you helped me see myself and what I can achieve. Please do not stop sharing. Thank you for existing...
You inspire me! Thank you for always being real with you channel and showing your process! I hope to create a routine like yours that is self fulfilling! 🙏🏽 You are a beautiful soul!
Yes! Finally a Artist who really is authentic ! Carolina, you inspire me so much! Thank you for sharing this one❤🌻🙏🏾
I love your life. It’s so simple and free. So inspiring.
Thank you for showing us your day. Its inspiring to know that such strong art is possible, while also having a day job ❤ beautiful work!
Wow an ideal I'll do it in near future some of your style
Its so inspiring to see how it can be balanced.I struggle whole my life to just be an artist or that people can let me be just that. I even left my country and went to Spain, but still, i need to make for living fast, so i did similar jobs and couldn't find any balance. I just let myself go into it so much, that i always end up too tired and too demotivated to be a creative soul and to work on my own projects. Eventually, it consumed me so much that i got ill. Entonces, seeing something opposite it is a hope-giving to everyone who struggles to make money as an artistic soul! Thank you!
This is so beautiful 🥹🫶
I started typing a whole lot of things about my morning routine and then just thought better to just let you know instead that I believe I was lead to your videos for a reason. Thank you for letting us step inside your world and feel it’s magic through your videos. They leave me feeling inspired and excited for my own creations😊
This was reccommended to me and I am so glad I found your channel.
As an artist (on an indefinite hiatus due to depression atm) with a full day job and a long commute, I feel it's so hard to balance everything, and I think it burnt me out eventually. I only wish I can fall back in love with drawing soon and take it a bit slower once I start drawing again.
I loved your space and those beautiful healthy plants of yours.
Hello from a new subscriber!!
(p.s. I have a few art and plant videos myself, in case you're interested)
Thank you so much for this! It was truly inspiring for me. I needed this kind of motivation because I'm in a "I don't feel like painting for a while" state, and it's tearing me inside.
One of the coolest apartments have seen. Also the art work is out of this world! 🌾🌻
You are so inspiring! And I really admire you - that you are able to create your amazing art work and also hold a day job! After my work day I have no energy left to create anything. I love the painting in your video, the flowers, plants, colours and everything, so wonderful! The bar you work looks very nice. And your home looks amazing with all the beautiful plants and nice light and space. Your videos are always so beautifully made, and give so much inspiration. I think I should try to be able to create just a little something with paint now after my work, after watching your lovely video! Thank you so much for sharing! : )
This was beautiful to watch, but the most important thing for me was how you’ve help remind to make space both for myself spiritually and for others in my day job. I’ve been dreading going to work and resenting it from “taking” away my time to write and create when really i should be grateful, take responsibility and manage my time and energy better thank you!!
Also-that painting is incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing. I just began a job at a bakery. I've felt some shame for not being able to be an independent artist but your philosophy about work is how I approach it too. Life teaches us, others teach us, we can have a spiritual experience in every task we do. I will re-watch this video if I get discouraged. I'm happy my art doesn't have to make me money now. I am free to follow my joy.
I am SO, SO grateful to see the same struggle for the first time admitted by someone else who is also seeing the many perspectives, positive sides and simply does for the sake of loyalty to their passion. Girls, thank you. I've been trying the same thing for the past 3,5 years and I think it might last a little longer still. Bliss to you and all the art.
Very nice to see this! It’s so great how on top of everything you manage to live such a healthy life, take time for yourself and do yoga and I find it interesting how you’re so connected with your spiritual self and how you are able to implement that into your paintings. Lovely video✨
You are a lovely serene soul. I felt such a sense of calm listening to your story of balancing your life. I wish you well and much success!
The energy you possess is astounding.
It was no accident that I happened upon this wonderful video. I am an artist/illustrator who has spent way too many years in corporate. Am learning with discipline to step out once again and nurture my heart and soul with art. Thank you so very much for sharing these moments with us. Blessings.
Very nice love your balanced approach on things between bartending and art making.
Your voice is so beautiful and peaceful. Hope you get done lots of art and can show to every human being. Lots of love! Keep blessed!
been struggling with my mental health recently but this video gives me motivation for something. Thank you!! It's nice that you make the most of each hour.
Me inspiras... Llevas el aire y la magia de Perú y contagias integridad y vida. Gracias!
finally somebody made me inspired on youtube! in terms of vlogging
you transmitted such a great energy! subscription has sent!
So inspirational. Your art is beautiful! Just beautiful. I didn’t have a day job, I had a graveyard job for 28 years. It wasn’t easy especially as a single mother with a son who as a young adult developed a mental illness. Then things changed. My son improved and last year at the age of 55 I was offered an early retirement. Over the years my regimented government job left little energy to devote to art. I made some time for it but not as much as I would have liked. But that is ok. I am grateful because I got to work with so many people from many cultures and that among other things was a huge blessing to me. It enlightened me to so many things. Art is a meditation for me. Every day before I paint I also clear the energy in my studio space with palo santo and send thanks out to the universe.
