My piece for #HENreunion

HEN truly changed my life. I have met a lot of new artists and collector friends. I was able to talk to people I have been looking up to in the art world. I was able to earn and invest more in my crafts and support others' work. I discovered and learned new art styles and tools thru the community and my art journey has been so much busier since then. It has put me in a rabbit hole of art every single day; discovering new art and stories from renowned and emerging artists. Seeing these artists strive to reach their artistic and life goals has been inspiring me to also keep on living and creating! The community of HEN that I have discovered a year ago genuinely gave me the fire to continue and to keep on striving with my art. I am and will be eternally grateful for the HENergy the HEN community shares!

The piece starts off with a montage featuring works created by Jarrett Cross throughout the past year. These works are the result of learning the different tools that inspired Jarrett Cross by his navigation of the metaverse and exploration of digital art. The proceeding clips are visual prompts for the artist; to CREATE, FLOW, BE CURIOUS, FOCUS, and STRIVE.
