My 2025 paint palette painting boasts a skull reflecting on the water. 2025 was a hard year for me. It was full of big death and smalls deaths. Like the death of my art studio, the death of a relationship, the death of my friend Arthur, my uncle Mike, my uncle Terry and my family dog Jack. Even some of the art I was commissioned was around theme of death. Though it was hard, it was also a reminder that in order of sometime to die it had to have lived and to me that is beautiful.
