'tweens.

After every commission, I make space to paint something purely for myself.

When you spend weeks or months carefully refining a piece for someone else, you build up a lot of creative energy that needs somewhere to go. These ‘tweens are my release. They’re fast, loose, instinctive, and full of movement. No overthinking. No perfectionism. Just paint.

Funny enough, they often become some of my favorite pieces.

Then it’s back to the next commission.
