Started a new piece today. My little Gojo. #WIP
I borrowed an earlier pose, but painted him in the colors he wore at the end ~ when the fire softened and the blue became stars. 🌌🐟

Life can get loud and messy.
Art gives us a quiet moment to breathe, reflect, and reset.
When I create, I feel like I’m gently clearing space inside myself.
It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.
🎨 What kind of “dust” are you ready to clear off your soul today?

There’s something magical that happens when we sit down to create.
The outside world softens, time slows, and we enter a space that feels both familiar and new.
In that quiet space, we’re not just making art—we’re meeting ourselves.
