I’m incredibly honored and grateful to receive the Deviousness Award for June 2026. 🤗💫

I’m still trying to find the right words… waking up to the notification on my profile truly left me speechless and emotional. And honestly… what a beautiful belated-birthday gift.

Receiving the Deviousness Award is something I never imagined happening to me.

I have never imagined that my small creative hobby brings so much joy to all of you!🥰

I’ve always created simply because I love it, and because it gave me so much strength!

Since childhood, I have truly never not created something. Whether it was a drawing my mother put on the fridge, a handmade gift, or digital art… creating has always been a part of me.

Building a cozy, welcoming art community has always been a dream of mine, and to be recognized for something I truly love, is beyond my imagination. 💚

It brings me so much joy to see all of you using my resources and tutorials. Knowing that my small hobby brings happiness, inspiration and support to you means more than I can express here today in this Journal…

As a child, I wanted to become an art teacher 👩‍🎨

But school was difficult for me back then, and life took me on a different path. I still work in a creative field today, but that dream of teaching others never truly left me.

And in a way… it came true; here on DeviantArt! 🥳

Through this amazing Community here at DeviantArt, I get to teach all of you my little secrets, tips and ways to create without needing expensive art supplies or much experience. Most of what I make is for free, because sharing knowledge and helping others explore their unique style and creativity is what makes me the happiest.

To see all of this getting recognized in such a meaningful way… I’m truly overwhelmed.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words. It means the world to me. I’m incredibly happy that you enjoy what I do, and that you find my resources and tutorials helpful.

Knowing that my work supports and inspires all of you is the greatest reward I could ever ask for! So, thank you so much! 💚

To end this post, with an inspirational poem:

In community's hands

creativity blooms softly;

where kind hearts gather,

we learn and grow together.

THANK YOU !
