The Journal
Welcome to the journal, a space for stories, insights, inspiration, and a bit of creative chaos. I share thoughts on art, the journey behind each painting, building ARTvS, and more. From behind-the-scenes processes to practical tips and spontaneous topics. Occasionally, friends and fellow creators contribute their own perspectives.
