December 20, 2025

2025 (The Year of the Snake) has been one of the most transformational years of my life. I turned to art-therapy to heal my complex trauma and became a full time university student.

My paintings, drawings and abstract photography exhibited in art galleries around the world. And on the 15th of December, I received a message from my art curator in Scotland to tell me my artwork was sold (my first sale ever). It’s a moment I will never forget!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

Love, Vanessa xox.
