Starting Over

Acrylic on canvas.

48x48x1.50"

I love working with acrylic for its ability to dry quickly, because I can create lots of layers in a relatively short amount of time. I partially painted this work with my hands — you can see the movement of my hands and fingers with the white paint. I feel this almost allows the viewer to put themselves in my shoes as I created this painting.

The message behind this work is that it’s never too late to change your life or start over. As someone who switched careers and changed the trajectory of my life, it was the best decision I could have made.
