In November of 2019 I found myself unable to create with fibre due to a injury from repetitive movement. After returning home from a celebration of life for the sibling of a close friend from my youth, I found myself desperately needing a creative outlet to process my feelings, so I picked up a brush. This is something I’d sworn I’d save for late in life, but we really don’t know how long we’re here for, do we? As we entered the pandemic I began exploring paint and found a obsession that brings me incredible solace. Below is a collection of many of the works I have created since that somber day in late 2019.
