Artist Till Death

In case you have been wondering where we have been lately - we just got home from the most mentally and physically taxing and rewarding project of my entire life.

I’ve always believed that success requires an elevated level of delusion - the kind where you have to believe in yourself so fiercely that it almost doesn’t make sense to anyone else. Without that delusional level of confidence, I truly don’t think half the greatness in this world would ever exist. Sometimes you have to bet on yourself beyond logic, beyond odds, and beyond what feels “reasonable.”

I’ve been reflecting a lot on how much this museum installation has meant to me - to my business, to our household, and honestly, to me as a person and as an artist.

When I first got the call about this opportunity, I never imagined it would turn into what it has. Even now, after working on it since May of 2023, I still catch myself staring at these panels, at the thousands of hours poured into them, and can’t quite believe I was the one trusted to create this. ME.

This project pushed and tested me in every imaginable way: creatively, physically, emotionally, mentally, and professionally. I know it’s cliche but this has been the kind of challenge that changes you — the kind that shows you what you’re capable of when you say yes to something bigger than yourself. When you trust your ability and stay open to growth and experimentation, incredible things become possible.

It’s also why I’ve been a little MIA from YouTube and social media. This project demanded everything — long nights, early mornings, problem-solving on the fly, and the kind of focus you can’t fake. It stretched my skills, my patience, and my confidence, and it gave me more pride than anything I’ve created in my career.

And now… seeing it complete, installed, and alive in the space it was designed for? There are no words. It’s surreal. Overwhelming in the best possible way. And something I will carry with me forever. It’s been truly transformative.

Thank you to everyone who supported me — every encouraging message, every “you’ve got this,” every sale that kept the materials coming and the lights on. Everyone that checked in on me. Everyone that took care of things for me so i could pour every ounce of myself into this project. Everyone that took care of my pups. Especially my parner in art Thornton Jeff for picking up the slack around the house, keeping me sane, making me touch grass an get fresh air during the long stretches of work. Thank you to the interior designer that sourced me for the work..

This wasn’t just a project. It was a leap of faith. And somehow, I landed exactly where I was meant to.

I cant show the full piece yet but here’s a sneak peek
