For this piece, I used acrylic markers, pen and ink, and white ink gel pens, employing one of my favorite techniques for details and shadows—crosshatching. A personal connection I have to this collection is my daily attempt to live by each of these messages. Every day, I strive to remain present through life’s difficulties, reminding myself of the inherent beauty and kindness within us all. By bringing "Seaside Serenity" into your home, or as a gift for a loved one, you embrace a message of hope and togetherness, creating a space where compassion and joy can flourish.
