In February of 2021, I started a creative hobby with my first blank canvas, cheap brushes and a small variety pack of acrylic paints. With that first painting, I established the process of standing over a card table draped in black plastic – a surface that would become the silent witness to my evolution from hobbyist to artist. I didn’t know then that this setup, so simple and initially temporary, would become the foundation of over 300 paintings. And now, nearing the end of 2025, that same black plastic—splattered, stained, and marked with the residue of every brushstroke, every burst of color, every moment of self-doubt and creative triumph—has been framed as its own work of art: Five Year Investment of Energy.
