Creative Work By Ali

Goodness. Even though I didn’t get to be present and walk at the graduation ceremony I’m glad I ordered the regalia. 🎓 It’s a visual symbol of how hard I worked these last few years. I don’t know where this Masters in Arts Administration will lead me but I’m proud I ended with a 3.9 gpa —we won’t focus on the B in that one class… grrr— and a portfolio of projects and experience. Because my parents attended the same University (then it was a college) I was able to order the legacy stole. I didn’t expect to feel such an impact that I’m now part of their educational legacy. Here’s to the future and whatever it may bring, hopefully a job, but at the very least I’m grateful and proud of this accomplishment. 🤩

It’s so good to see my artwork and photography up in a gallery again. I love the Sidney Museum and Arts Association . It’s history, art, and community all together. If you’re in the Kitsap County area this is a place you must stop at!

10/10 I do NOT recommend having pneumonia.

I’ve been sick on and off for several months. Each time it resets my body. Each time I have to rebuild my energy and get my seizures under control again.

And most importantly not let depression win.

Those with , 😔

It’s lame. I have lots of plans. As Alexander Hamilton in the musical says, “there’s a million things I haven’t done but just you wait, just you wait…”

Doesn’t my body know that??

I want to be busy, like the bees, and get stuff done and then take naps in flowers. 🐝

Sigh.

I’ll rest this time but not giving up. Just you wait…

Leaping into the ocean.

Sometimes you have to tear down the fence to see the view, but watch your step.

This is technically a work in progress and not necessarily done today, though I did make some changes to it. I’ve been interested in designing and selling cross stitch and embroidery patterns so this is a design I’ve been doing while exploring the process. I have many changes I’d still like to make, hence work in progress.

I took this photo while I was swimming in the lake.

A few days after this, the mountain on the right caught fire because of people lighting off fireworks.

So far it has burned over 400 acres.

I am angry and sad at humans for so many reasons right now.

I attempted to digitally draw lavender in an abstract way, intending to accept it as an experiment and share it, but I just couldn’t bring myself to accept the piece. However, I saw a lavender plant in my yard waving at me, so I took a photo of it, saying “hello.”

I like this.
