“The Process” (or Per Aspera ad Astra – through hardship to the star) is a representational digital painting that tells my story as an artist who been through all type of criticism to follow my dream and become stronger every day.

The hand covers one ear and the other hand puts on the shoulder reminding me to only listen to constructive feedback, keep doing what I love and continuously improving myself.

This painting was shown in the 2014 Juried Show at Evergreen Valley College.
