[SOFT LAUNCH] The Beginning of Something I’ve Always Dreamed Of

I’ve been dreaming about this moment for years—opening my own online store for my art. For the longest time, it felt like something always got in the way. I told myself I was too busy with my day job. I convinced myself I didn’t have the time, the resources, or that I’d probably just lose money trying to start a business. So I kept putting it off.

But here we are. The store is live.

I’ve quit art so many times in my life, but somehow I never failed to return to it. Every time I walked away, I eventually found myself picking up a brush again, painting late into the night, or sketching out an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone. No matter how many detours I took, art has always pulled me back.

My goals with art have changed over the years—sometimes I wanted to pursue gallery shows, sometimes I thought about teaching, and other times I wanted to make it purely personal. But now, my goal is much simpler: to just do it, and to keep on doing it. No matter how busy I get, no matter where life takes me, I want to keep creating.

Having an art studio of my own was something I dreamed about as a kid, and now it’s real. And alongside that, I finally have an online store. For now, it’s a soft launch as I continue adding products and refining things, but it feels amazing to see this long-time dream finally take shape.

Right now, I’m offering prints and original paintings, and I can’t wait to expand into more products and services connected to my passion. One day, I’d love to create shirts and apparel with my designs, and share my art in new, wearable ways.

This is just the beginning. Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for being part of this journey with me. I’m excited to see where it goes, and even more excited to keep making art—again, and again, and again.
