Just grateful to tears. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your orders & support of my art! I mean😭😭😭😭😭😭my heart is full🎨🙏🏽thank you god♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Being 1st generation theres been a lot of struggle in my path both physically & emotionally. witnessing & supporting family with mental illness is one hell of a roller coaster behind the scenes. Its like trying to fly with a huge weight. There was a time I didn’t believe in this reality of my dreams. a learned scarcity mindset. my parents are from a rural town called Ipiales & found a way to Kansas City. which is a miracle in itself. i started working when I was 15 after school. I was the 1st in my family to travel across the country completely alone. A full time art college student with 3 jobs. I was so unprepared. I was discouraged & left the painting program. convinced I needed a corporate art job. I succeeded but was miserable. I was angry I couldn't ignore it but I quit. Alone I moved again. California to New York. 2 suitcases, found a 9/5 & a room in the Bronx. I was always a very creative person in the arts with a curiosity to seek growth far beyond the card I was dealt. I began painting again because I missed it. Fast forward only to wind up right back where I started😅For anyone who needs to hear it, don’t ignore your intuition. We all have our battles. Sometimes the most amazing changes happen when you follow your passion even if it feels like your life is falling apart. I pray all blocks be removed, abundance in your life and to live with something meaningful that brings your soul joy🙏🏽I love you♥️🎨 -Ayala
