Just a 2000s Kid

This collection was inspired by my feelings of nostalgia for easier times. As someone with Bipolar Disorder, the ups and downs can be really overwhelming. I felt that I needed something to keep me grounded and balanced--something to acknowledge this sense of sadness while also recognizing the highs. This collection kept me motivated to paint even in the hard days and kept me grounded enough in the days I was crawling out of my own skin. It shows the dreamy nature of what it felt like to be a kid in the 2000s. The love for newest toys, the care we had for them, and the up and coming technology we got to be a part of. I hope you feel for these as much as I do.
