During my time studying abroad in the south of France, daily practices have become an essential part of my experience. I’ve found inspiration everywhere—from the playful jewelry and stained glass windows to the vibrant mosaics and impressive art exhibits like Art Basel and Design Miami in Paris.

Taking the time to reflect on my travels has allowed me to capture what resonates with me and transform those experiences into art. I’ve filled three sketchbooks so far, the motivation seems endless! I took a picture every day at 4:44pm to then create a daily color palette that heavily influenced my paintings that day. This creative journey has truly enriched my time here, allowing me to document my adventures in a meaningful way.
