This year has been a very successful year for me so far.🥳🥳🥳

1. I totally re-evaluated my career as a freelance illustrator and took on a lot of new, bold projects to move forward.🤩
2. This includes the launch of my first online course ArtFur (BTW - You can still join ^^)
3. I hit 17,000 followers on DeviantArt! O_O

I started DA about 13 years ago, basically as a child. I looked up to everyone who at that time already had an established artistic career and it seemed so far away!

But now it's here. Now I'm an adult (I guess?), I have my children, whom I try to lead to art, and I'm figuring out the best way to share with others what I've learned so far.

DeviantArt has been with me for a half of my life. Despite all the changes there, I don't want to leave it, also because I see that people on DA are still interested in my work and I enjoy being there.

I don't think my English vocabulary is enough to express how incredibly grateful I am for each and every one of you who puts some energy into my pictures, whether it's just a look, a fav, or a comment. You are all my heroes and without you I could never start to make a living from art.

I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you better in the ArtFur online course. Trust me, it's worth it! <3
