Optimism

24x36” Acrylic on Canvas, 2022

The first piece in my Optimism series, this work embodies growth, renewal, and the belief that life improves with time and dedication. Created during a pivotal moment in my career, it has been exhibited at The Drawing Room Gallery, Tartine Bakery, and multiple art shows. Built up with layers of texture, the piece was created using unconventional tools—forks, credit cards, plastic cups—giving it a raw, tactile energy that reflects the spontaneity and joy it was born from.
