Most children abandon their crayons and coloring books around ten. I upgraded to an oil painting set.
I've always leaned to the creative side, but I was beyond fortunate to have wonderful art instructors in high school who cultivated that creative spirit and gave me the tools to continue to grow far into adulthood. I can't tell you how many times family members, friends, colleagues, and even strangers have suggested to me that perhaps my work should be more than a hobby, and finally I have decided to agree. The glorious intersection of color, flow, and spirit is far too large, far too magnificent to keep to oneself. If only one piece I share with the world can create a smile, or inspire, than I have done my job here on earth. That's something I can be proud of.

As an accountant by day and struggling artist + student by night, I understand that working a beautiful piece of art into your budget is sometimes difficult. Despite how much I enjoy working on large format art, my personal conviction that art can be accessible and affordable to everyone while still being realistic to the work/time value of the artist is why this shop mostly features smaller scale original pieces that can help fit almost any tight budget. By focusing on these small, affordable items, it gives you, the buyer and investor, more choice and power in what art you choose instead of forcing you to consider cheaper avenues, such as licensed prints at the generic super store.
Thank you so much for your time, consideration, and support!
