A 2021 Retrospective: The Year in Art

December 27, 2021 ●
anxiety is // bees buzzing in my chest, and // i'm afraid of bees. Image is a square black canvas featuring a messy watercolor illustration of a human rib cage in the center. The lungs within the rib cage are bees' nests, honeycomb seeping honey. Bees are crawling all over the sternum, some of the ribs, and the honeycomb, with some of them flying to and from the hive. The haiku is lettered beneath the rib cage in two different styles. "Anxiety" and "bees" from the first two lines of the haiku are written large in frantically scrawled all-caps, so that the initial message you see reads "anxiety bees." Most of the rest of the wording is in a very neatly written sans-serif, with the frantic lettering making a return for the final line of the poem.

I started 2021 with two goals in mind: exclusively focusing on growing my business and creating more art. With various physical and mental health struggles, it’s been easy for me to feel like I’ve failed. But data doesn’t lie, and I’m so proud of myself for everything I accomplished this year. In this particularly 2021 retrospective, I want to take a look at all the art I’ve created throughout the past 12 months.
