I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍

Abstract painting. Jewel-toned waves of color—black, blue, red, green, and white—band and blend together in streaks against an orange background. The effect is like a jagged puddle made of melting agates.
