From My Studio to Your Home 💙
Hi there,
This morning started with some yoga and stretching 🧘♀️ — a small but important part of my new routine.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been resting my arm and neck while painting the surfboard trophies, and the improvement has been incredible. Now, with my return to painting full-sized surfboards just around the corner, I’m focusing on building a stronger foundation — fitness, flexibility, and posture — to make those long painting sessions more comfortable.
I even took a short break from martial arts training… but I started back this week. I’m sore, but it feels great!
Finding that work/life balance isn’t always easy. But I’m learning to remember that even 15 minutes in the studio is valuable. Those small moments all add up, and they keep the creative energy flowing.
I’m so grateful that I get to do what I love for a living. Painting and creating art brings me so much joy — and the fact that it’s also my job is something I never take for granted. Every collector, every kind word, every person who brings my art into their home… you make this dream possible.
