Still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that I spent my first artist residency in a castle in France, waking up every day to the sound of church bells, birds singing, and the smell of freshly baked croissants, thinking about nothing but painting, learning, playing, and just …being.

It’s funny how much more of ourselves we get to discover when we’re placed in environments that don’t require anything from us.

Really grateful to have shared this with some of the kindest, most creative people I’ve ever met. There are only a few times I get to genuinely say this, but man, what a life.

(Artist residency, Chateau d’Orquevaux, Champagne-Ardenne, Spring 2026)

Isn’t it interesting how the soft rose and its sharp thorns share the same root? I kept returning to a line from an old sonnet: “Sweet is the rose, but grows upon a brere.” The thought lingered with me for a while, the way small observations do: this quiet understanding that the beauty and the thorn come from the same place, and that you do not really get one without the other.

Something new has been quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

The originals will always remain singular, but I’ve been working on a way for the work to reach more people who feel connected to it.

The first release will be small. More soon. If you’d like early and exclusive access, stay close. ✨

I made this painting after finding a meadow that didn’t quite feel real. the light was thinning into that soft in-between hour. the grasses washed in beige and quiet green. the sky a pale golden sunset. i kept walking toward it thinking something would clarify, but the horizon shifted each time i moved.

so i sat and wrote instead. about how some places live only at the edge of memory, how the nearly can stay with us longer than the arrival. this painting is not the meadow exactly, but the feeling of almost reaching it and choosing to keep that distance. Looking back I wish I had taken a photo, but this painting captures the experience just as accurately.

I painted this after a slow afternoon rain, when everything felt softer and a little golden.

The petals had fallen, but they looked at peace, resting on the wet ground like they belonged there all along. It made me think about how some things don’t need to be held onto forever. They can just land gently and still be beautiful.

So I kept that moment.
