					<description><![CDATA[Cha-cha-changes🔗I&#8217;ve been reflecting on this topic a lot lately, especially as Vancouver&#8217;s leaves have been turning beautiful colours with Autumn&#8230;!🍁As we all know, changes are inevitable. These kind of changes make us feel helpless and out-of-control. Although these are hard to swallow, it&#8217;s usually best to acknowledge the difficulty of these changes, then adapt and&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I started freelance designing (circa 2010), I would default and say &#8220;yes&#8221; to nearly every opportunity that arose. As my experience compounded, I grew more mindful and selective about the projects I undertook. I believe this growth was also related to my struggle to gain confidence in my abilities as an artist, and ultimately&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Painting the striking Waratah (Telopea) today. It&#8217;s the state flower of New South Wales, Australia and symbolises survival, courage, and resisilience during times of crisis and despair. Perhaps it&#8217;s fitting that I found it to be verrrry challenging to paint (hah)! This flower reminds me of the varying low points I experienced throughout my twenties.&#46;&#46;&#46;]]></description>
