To those who use art as therapy,

The above print is titled What Next? and speaks about the future in what is going to happen. The character feels a bit trapped and cannot help being present and constantly thinks about having something better or at least knowing that there is something better. I created this linocut two years ago, knowing that I needed to do something else with my job. I would stress out about it way too much and I hated getting and preparing art materials. I found that it's okay to make choices to shift your life into something different. As a Pisces, I have always felt like I need to be constantly moving and not getting trapped into something that doesn't make me happy over all. I quit my job and it was a great decision.

I want to discover new things. Explore new places. I like flexibility.

Yesterday, I started two new zinc plates for printmaking class. I consumed myself with a larger print for almost two semesters and I wanted to have that feeling of excitement back again. In class, I try to challenge my self a bit further by trying a new technique that I have never done before. It keeps me on my toes.

I hope that you find ways to challenge yourself and try new things.

About to work on my plates,
My-Linh

P.S. My artwork has shifted since quiting my job and I love the unknown worlds that I create.
