In 2020, I hit a wall. Stuck in a routine in North Carolina, I felt like my life was running on autopilot. I knew I needed change, so I packed my bags, left my comfort zone, and moved to Florida to chase something bigger.

The journey hasn’t been easy. There were times when I was broke, struggling, and losing sight of who I was. But those struggles became the foundation for growth. I realized that art, like life, isn’t always about the smooth moments—it’s about embracing the highs and lows and using them to evolve.

By the end of 2021, I made the decision to fully commit to my passion for creating art. Tampa So Far is a space for me to showcase my work, share my story, and connect with others who may be on a similar journey. My art is inspired by my experiences—philosophy, self-discovery, the psychedelic mind, and my love for dinosaurs and dragons. It’s a reflection of where I’ve been and where I’m going.

Through my work, I want to inspire others to embrace their own struggles, find beauty in the chaos, and take the leap into the unknown. This website is my way of sharing that vision with the world, one piece of art at a time.
