That fateful night in Ponsonby, New Zealand, in 2020 was just the beginning. Little did I know that a simple paint and wine session with my friends would spark a passion that would continue to grow and evolve.

Since then, I've come to realize that this hobby is about more than just creating art. It's about challenging myself to try new things, pushing my limits, and discovering my own resilience and patience. Each painting is a journey, and each completed piece is a testament to my ability to persevere and see things through to the end.

As I continue to hone my skills, I'm excited to see where this journey will take me next. Whether it's experimenting with new mediums, exploring different styles, or simply refining my technique, I'm committed to using this hobby as a means of personal growth and self-discovery.
