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?

I never intended to become a self-taught painter, but it all got started when I began to play with paints and brushes on canvas one summer day during the pandemic in July 2021. In this blog post, I share my journey, select paintings, exhibitions, and a collection of pieces I've written about my journey. I'll start with my latest post.
