Travel Art & Life

We’d only been in France three days before heading to Bordeaux, and it already felt like a week — the kind of time that stretches when you’re paying attention. But travel has a way of reminding you that time isn’t as predictable as it looks on paper. These first few days taught me that half-days, detours, and small confusions can quietly steal the hours we think we have — and that how we spend our time matters more than how much we have of it.

What if slowing time down isn’t about clocks or calendars — but about curiosity, connection, and how wide your attention is? Lessons from two weeks in France.

Paris greeted us not with croissants and café music, but with chaos — and somehow, it made arriving even more real. You can’t truly arrive somewhere without being shaken awake first.

Every painting has a personality, and this one is bold, funny, and unapologetic. Off the Deep End is for anyone who’s ever thought “the beach is boring” and prefers their sunsets poolside.

In this post, I share the realities of starting a new painting, from the struggles to the moments of flow. I also discuss my decision to shift focus from social media to my own blog, where I'll share more in-depth stories about my art and life. It's a journey of creativity, self-improvement, and finding joy in the process.

I thought the world was supposed to get better...for everyone. What's happening now is not great, people. It's Valentine's Day, a day celebrating love. I wish we would all remember what that is.
