Water Soluble Oil on Canvas
20” × 24”
My mentor—who I studied under for over six years—believed deeply in learning from the classics. “You have to know what came before you to create something that’s truly yours,” he’d say. One day, while paging through one of the many art books he’d collected during his decades inside, I found an old pastel drawing of a European countryside. It was gentle, distant—almost like a memory of a place that no longer exists. I used it as a starting point, reimagining that landscape through my own lens. As I painted, I couldn’t stop thinking about legacy—who gets remembered, and why. Will I ever be more than the worst thing I’ve done? Can I move past this version of myself, or will I always be reaching for somewhere else—some place or identity I’m still not sure I’ll ever reach?
** Please note: All canvas works are unstretched and without frame. Images are here so you can get an idea of painting size and possible ways to display in your home.
