(quiet evenings + we don't live near the beach)
As I was perusing my mom's facebook a few days ago, I stumbled upon a conversation that introduced me to Jessica Swift (our moms are high school friends!). I went to her website, and quickly realized that this girl is really special. I rarely find so much inspiration in paintings as I do in Jessica's. Her messages are so insightful, yet they are universal ideas that everyone can identify with. Basically, I love her. Her art makes me happy. I am now the proud owner of these four prints and cannot wait to display them in my room.
(you simply glow + let me heal your damaged heart)
Right when I found myself wanting to be her and wishing I created all this magical artwork, I stumbled upon this beautiful bit of wisdom on her blog:
"People ARE amazing. And here is the thing: I'm amazing, too.We're all amazing, because we're complex, beautiful, unique,
and flawed human beings. All of us, just because we're alive."
