Hello 2018 and with it, all our hopes and dreams for growth and prosperity. I enjoyed some well needed family time and plenty of indulgences that I am now working off in the gym. Now as I gear up for my next show on the 8th of this month I am pumping out new work and enjoying a whole new color palette inspired by some of the places I visited on my time off. Places that are simplistic and rustic, with it's own delicate vibrancy. Places steeped in weathered patina that my eye catches and immediately begins to study. There is comfort in the old vintage tradition of staying the same. Stability is a notion that can seem to be fleeting these days as people and places change. Those are things we cannot control. But our individual stability; when our character and integrity is stable this allows us to keep an adventurous mind to explore growth with new experiences and new ideas. I am looking forward to strides, struggle, and ultimately growth through it all.
