New Wilmington Art Prints now available! 〰️

Officially, I became part of the Wilmington Community two years ago this month. But not really. I had a challenging transition (most are), and really decided to “get to know” this town only about a year ago.

This sticker is my interpretation of how things are going.

I saw a quote on the side of The Roastery on 16th Street that said “In Wilmington as it is in Heaven.” And it reminded me of the sentiment that heaven and hell are inside of you here on earth.

So you can learn to love where you’re at, or …. change your circumstances (easier said than done for many).

The art community, market community, neighbors, coffee shops and more have been so welcoming to me, that I’ve come to love it a wee bit.

This weekend I visited the North Carolina Aquarium at Ft. Fisher for the first time and touched a little hermit crab. That’s him up there on my newest sticker. I also had fun trying to paint azaleas, though I skipped the Fest this year (again).

Challenges remain…I bought a hundred year old house, and I don’t love hurricane season. But my practice of paying attention and making each day my own, doing things I love, and remaining curious has paid off.

I’m learning a lot about myself and Wilmington every day. What’s life if not an adventure?
