Sheeeeit! What a year!? From the gate, I'd like to Sheeeeit! What a year!? From the gate, I'd like to thank everyone for all their love, support and friendship over the past 12 months!

This was a year full of revelations and growth, both personal and career wise. I discovered there is such a thing as work/life balance!? I even learnt to treat myself from time to time. (Those that know me, know I don't buy things for myself, I prefer memories over material.)

It was a year of travel, experience and networking. I got to journey across America via Route 66. Visited LA, Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico, Roswell, Marfa Texas, El Paso, Nola, NY and Philly. Visited all the state galleries and attended 2 of New York's biggest art fairs; Frieze and TEFAF. Saw close to 100 bucket list performances and comedians.

I did some of my best paintings (which will be revealed next year). But most importantly met some amazing people who play a great part in my life! 

As much as I choose to focus on the highs, there were definitely some sad moments along the way, but we keep it pushing! "Cos my life is dope and I do dope shit!" Happy New Year, crew! ❤
