Staying Grounded with Tiana Crispino

Artwork by: Tiana Crispino

The story:

Drawing abstract patterns and just organic shapes is something that helps me focus on one thing and let go of all the other things that may be going on during times of transition and uncertainty like today. So rather than creating something really intentional with the prompt, I thought it might be kinda neat to have one of the patterns/doodles that I have and use that showing how doing what you need to do to stay grounded doesn't need to be perfectly polished, it can just be something that calms you and helps you.
