Diamonds are NOT a girl’s best friend.

Confidence isn’t loud. Sometimes, it’s just showing up—again and again—until your voice feels steady and your vision feels true.

For me, confidence didn’t arrive all at once. It built slowly, through every painting I didn’t think I could finish, every commission that challenged me, and every piece I shared even when I was scared to be seen.

Art has taught me that confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about trusting yourself enough to create anyway. To risk expression. To take up space.

Every canvas has been a quiet act of belief in myself. And with each one, that belief grows a little stronger.
