colours louder
less phone, more life

Started so many new paintings at once I think I hit a brain freeze.
Collage mode on full blast.
Scraps everywhere.
Coffee and Baileys lunch date. *highly recommend
Finished I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. *highly recommend
Don’t let the title scare you.

Painting mantra forming as I go.
Dark blues and collage finding their way.
No Body Knows You’re Here read in five days. *amazing book
Kids building a canvas together, one turn at a time.
Ceramics date with my girl.
Dogs watching every bite like it’s theirs.
Good reminder.
Sunset, flowers, stillness.

[15.03.26 – 22.03.26] saving the best for last, opus live demo on a massive canvas, Palm Springs record breaking heat of +39, mesmorizing california sunsets, space buns-nailed it, mom absolutely losing it go-karting, back home to paint, new work, and felipe’s ai version of me earning fridge status.

[09.03.26 - 15.03.25] collage work in latest painting, ceramics piece polished and glazed (lets how it comes out of the kiln), random blizzard, lost in logistics of a live zoom with three camera angles, opus painting demo finished, bye 👋

[ 22.02.26 – 01.03.26 ]
the unfolding of the week: sewing experiment, clay works, start of a new paint, walks, cakes, chalk, Pokémon cards, skating until my feet hurt.

I am drawn to the in between. The tension between clarity and chaos, memory and imagination, beauty and distortion. I want my work to ask you to look deeper and feel slower.

I move forward by moving outward. In every direction at once. Variety is not distraction for me. It is momentum.
