A Season for Gratitude

As the year winds down, I’m taking a breath and remembering what matters most.

As the year starts wrapping up, I find myself slowing down, finally. It’s been full… messy, good, surprising, and fast. I don’t always take the time to stop and really see how much has happened until now.

When I look back, I feel thankful for the people who stopped by my shows, for those who shared kind words, and for everyone who’s brought a piece of my art into their home. Each connection means more than I can say.

Painting has a way of keeping me grounded through it all. Even on the hard days, it gives me a place to breathe. A blank canvas always feels like hope - a fresh start waiting to happen.

I’m learning that gratitude doesn’t have to be a big thing. It’s in the small moments, the first brushstroke, a quiet studio morning, or just being reminded that I get to do what I love.

Here’s to ending the year thankful, and starting the next one with an open heart.

Happy New Year!
