The Ups and Downs of 2020

Artist: Natalia Vowles
Media: Colored pencil and marker on paper.

Saying 2020 was a wild year is a HUGE understatement, it's been depressing, difficult, tumultuous, surreal, nightmarish, tiring, chaotic, I mean I could go on forever, but it has also had some good parts. My art is about a mix of them both, a reflection of this year. But the most important part of my art is the phrase at the bottom, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." It shows that this world is not a perfect place, it's not some TV show that wraps up happily in 30 minutes, it's a struggle that you have to persevere through every single day. And with every single day that passes you get stronger, smarter, and gain a new kind of perspective that's going to help you take on the world. And on that thought Happy 2021!
