Story about Stay Salty
As the curtains draw to a close on the chapter of my first solo adventure to the Emerald Coast in Florida and more after that, a vibrant tapestry of memories and emotions emerges, encapsulated within my art collection. Each stroke of paint, each blend of colors, carries a story, a journey of self-discovery and growth. The initial painting, born from the sands of that pristine coastline, was a testament to new beginnings and the exploration of unfamiliar techniques and mediums.
It was there, amidst the salty breeze and the gentle lull of the waves, that I encountered a young girl whose innocence and kindness mirrored my own childhood spirit. Her simple yet profound words became a guiding light, reminding me of the serendipity of life and the importance of pursuing one's dreams. Months passed, and the canvas remained a source of frustration until I found myself drawn back to the same shores, seeking solace and inspiration. And there, amidst the familiar sights and sounds, I discovered a renewed sense of purpose, a spark reignited within me.
Now, as the collection reaches its completion, with four additional paintings capturing the essence of subsequent journeys along the Emerald Coast, I reflect upon the transformative journey I've undergone. From being a student to graduation to the bold leap of leaving my job and embarking on new adventures in another country, each piece symbolizes a milestone, a testament to resilience and growth. As I stand on the threshold of a new beginning, my art stands as a reminder of the beauty found in embracing change and following the whispers of the heart.
