Breaking Apart to Build Something New

^{When I first started sharing my charcoal work, it wasn’t because it was perfect. It was because something inside it was alive—the movement, the broken lines, the way the imperfections let emotion break through the surface. Somehow, a flat piece of paper could make people feel.}

^{That’s always been the pursuit. Not perfection, but something true.}

^{Now, I feel like I’m being led even deeper.}

^{Lately, I’ve been tearing apart everything I thought I knew—deconstructing the techniques I once depended on—to try and capture something even more raw and honest. This is the beginning of a new era of my work.}

^{I’ve been drawing inspiration from those who weren’t afraid to break the rules—Picasso, Bacon, Basquiat—artists who chased truth through chaos. But more than anything, this new chapter is about chasing the depth of God. About finding ways to reveal His complexity, His mystery, His tenderness, even through the madness.}

^{That’s the real goal behind all of it.}

^{It always has been.}

^{The new pieces you will see are uncomfortable in some ways—messy, unpredictable, imperfect. But they’re honest. They’re me stepping into the unknown with open hands. Thank you for believing in the work when it was rough, when it was fragile, and now as it begins to change again.}

^{Never Stop Creating}
