What if you gave the art you are making space to breathe?

In this video, I take you inside the gentle, slow-burn process of developing a new series of acrylic paintings, with all the pauses, pivots, and quiet revelations involved. The abstract painting process isn’t about rushing to the finish line. It’s about trusting the artwork to unfold in its own time.

If you've ever felt the pressure to be productive, faster, or to get your art “finished” — this is your reminder that good things often take time.

🎨 In this video:

• A behind-the-scenes look at my evolving painting series
• Thoughts on permission, patience, and creative pacing
• Why slowness is often where the magic lives
• I share an art book I love: 📘 Painting as a Last Resort about the artist Mathew Wong and Vincent Van Gough, written by Joost van der Hoeven, Kenny Schachter, Richard Schiff and John Yau, published by Thames and Hudson, 2024
