I took a botanical design class this summer and it was so inspiring! I dried some of the elements from my projects using silica gel. This is a great method that works fast and preserves color so well!

Took some self portraits before meeting a client. This one is my favorite because it captures something I can’t fully explain in words. It just “feels” like me. I think my mom needs a wallet size and she can write on the back, “Shawna, Age 39.”
. .

And of course there were other images that will not see the light of day. That’s life. We all have unflattering moments and expressions. Snapshots can serve a great purpose, but we are more than our most flattering or unflattering frozen expressions.

When I see an image of myself I do not like, I’m more upset by how I can begin question how accurately I perceive reality on a daily basis. We all have our way that we “see” ourselves in our minds.

Sometimes maybe:
We never see what we want
We see only what we want
We’re all about what others see
We move about, between all of the above

How do we ...
Present
Perceive
Become
our “most” authentic self?

How does God see us?
