The story behind

16th Birthday

Waking up early to see a sunrise on my birthday has always been an item on my bucket list. This painting was inspired by a moment I captured in 2022 in Navarre, Florida on my 16th birthday. Since then, it has sat in my camera roll since waiting to be painted. This painting was completed in February of 2025
