Hi, I'm Allison!

AlliFaith

@PenAndrew Thanks so much! I haven't worked up the nerve yet to start posting WIPs, so I know what you mean, but I am sure we will both get there! And yes, I am subscribed. The courses have been such a HUGE help!

PenAndrew

@AlliFaith I took the l plunge yesterday and shared my treehouse ideas.

AngelinaKizz

Welcome Allison. I’m sorry that you’ve had a turbulent few years, and I hope that reconnecting with your art has brought you some comfort. This is a great community, and I’m sure you’ll see much growth by being here. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.

AlliFaith

@AngelinaKizz thank you! Perhaps my story was too much of a downer, hahaha, but my point was so say that through tragedy I rediscovered a passion.

PenAndrew

@AlliFaith Not a downer, truthful and honest and appreciated and valuable to hear.

AlliFaith

@PenAndrew it means a lot to hear that, thank you. Perhaps it will inspire someone else. That’s always my hope.

PenAndrew

@AlliFaith Honesty is a valuable gift that we can give others.

AngelinaKizz

@AlliFaith
Definitely!
I lost the use of my dominant hand in an injury just before covid and now use my non dominant. So I totally empathize with finding joy after hardship and struggle. Keep drawing!

AlliFaith

@AngelinaKizz wow, that’s amazing! Go you!

Nyrryl Cadiz

@AlliFaith Hello Allison! Welcome to the forum. I hope you'll like it here.

AlliFaith

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you!!

Larue

Hey Allison, Welcome! Don't be afraid to put yourself and your creative ideas out there. We're all very supportive around here.

AlliFaith

@Larue thank you! It does look like everyone is supportive. It’s nice to see that in a community of artists, especially after having seen how vicious some can be.

PenAndrew

@Larue Yes I second that! I believe it is because of a shared goal, a shared appreciation of all the teachers at SVS and many have invested time and money in subscribing, so it is a serious endeavour that means something to everyone. @AlliFaith

AngelinaKizz

@PenAndrew yeah I totally agree. I also think because it’s a paid subscription, no one is just lurking around to troll. We’re all here wanting to grow in our endeavours.
