My July 2026 newsletter is a celebratory newsletter about my painting journey. Why did I begin painting in July 2021? What did I paint? What has 5-year painting journey been like? What have I learned? What have I accomplished as self-taught painter? What's next?

Welcome to my art studio and my newsletter. I share the inspiration for and the stories behind each painting. I share the painting(s) at upcoming exhibitions, and much more.

Had the COVID-19 pandemic never struck, I would not have lost my job, retired early, and become an accidental self-taught painter.
