2021, Oil on Canvas 20”x20”x1/2”

In this painting of an old pair of workboots takes center stage, not just as worn-out footwear but as a symbol of a transformative journey. These boots, weathered by my first few years in the film industry, become a canvas of gratitude and memories, each scuff and crease is a testament to the challenges I overcame and the paths I walked alongside remarkable individuals who believed in me. Through the strokes of paint, I pay homage to the mentors and supporters who shaped my path, and to the friends and family who cheered me on. These boots encapsulate not only my professional growth but the joy of finally finding job satisfaction. They represent a milestone, a stepping stone towards many more years of fulfilling adventures ahead.
