There is a lot that I want to do. But time is so fleeting. I even have things I want to put in my Etsy shop, but they are on the back burner at the moment. I have to manage my time better. I feel like I am saying that all the time. But it just feels like time slips away.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an artist proof of a piece I did recently.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10525\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10525\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AndreaMai_-1953-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New art piece \u00a92022 by Andrea Mai.

She had developed breast cancer. I met her in 2018, and sadly, the timezone difference made it hard to talk on the phone. I knew she had many burdens. She was a mother of a young child. The photo below is one of my most favourite portraits that I&#8217;ve ever done.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10522\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10522\" src=\"http:\/\/andreamaicreative.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AndreaMai_-7110-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My friend \u00a92022 by Andrea Mai.

I thought that was something that people should see more often. Positive affirmations are a powerful thing in the mind. I decided to create a sticker that I could stick to packages I send out.
