What do you say to yourself & others? Words can be deadly weapons or protective layers of love. They can bruise and batter a person, no matter how old, in the heart and spirit just like physical blows can cause damage to the outside of the body.

Encouraging words are like a gift of bravery, daring and valor giving you permission to take risks and to keep on trying. While it is important to give words of encouragement to others, it is vital to give them to yourself as well.

So as an artist I thought it would be cool to create drawing series that remind us to say positive things to ourselves & others. I’ve named this series ‘Encourage & Get Encouraged.’

Give yourself and others the beautiful gift of encouragement. Express those kind words to others and yourself. Stop being so critical and expecting perfection. We are all incredible human beings with much to accomplish and enjoy in life so let’s move forward in joy. I hope this drawing series reminds you the power of your words and encourage many people out there.
