As some of you may know, My community was recently in the midst of a forest fire that led all of us through a very traumatic experience. Several people lost their homes and we lost many hectares of our beloved forest that surrounded our community. We had to pack our lives into the backs of our vehicles and evacuate not only ourselves but our many animals. It was a very scary experience I hope no one has to endure. I was amidst the flames, helping fight it as long as I could until there was no more to be done and it was best left to the professionals.

Our home is no longer in danger and we will be allowed to return home within the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to going back to my home, something several of our neighbours cannot do, but I also fear going back, having to witness the charred remains of our forest that only a few days ago I was in the middle of, trying to save.

I am still working on your owed work but due to the experiences in the past few days, I'm doing a bunch of personal art to help myself recover emotionally. If you follow me on twitter, you will have been seeing some of these posts and while it seems I'm doing well, I'm still very burdened by the trauma I have experienced and I still need to recuperate some.

I will be slower to respond to your notes but I promise I'll get there as soon as I feel well enough <3

Again, commissioners, I will be working on your commissions ASAP <3 I appreciate your patience and I hope it is okay that I take some more time to stabilize myself.

Thank you for reading <3 ;v; thank you for your understanding <3
