In life I often feel unheard and that my mind is occupied by everyone else. A good way to get into my own head and really listen is to get out from everything else. As a gift to myself, I set out to find something new, inspiration and silence. I listen to myself and let curiosity pull me across the map. To document this experience, these paintings are based off of the many stops I made along my solo road trip from Austin, TX to the Grand Canyon and back.
