Like most kids who love to paint, one of the first real mediums I used was acrylics. In 2017, an online workshop introduced me to oil paints, and by early 2019, I had transitioned to watercolors. However, wanting to explore more mediums, I embraced digital art during the pandemic and got an iPad to try it out. While the possibilities of digital art are exciting, I’ve always missed the tactile experience of traditional mediums—the feel of paint on my fingers, the need to clean brushes, and those irreversible mistakes that often lead to the most unexpected and beautiful outcomes.

Through my work with acrylics at Sandy’s studio, I rediscovered my love for them and found my way back to my roots.
