One evening at the coffee shop I frequented, I decided to paint with real espresso. The experience was revelatory. Unlike traditional paints, coffee had a rebellious, unpredictable nature. Just as I had been learning about the intricacies of coffee culture each time I visited the shop, I was now learning first-hand how to work with espresso it in a completely new way.
Painting with coffee became more than just an artistic endeavor; it became a form of self-expression with a medium as unapologetically itself as I am. Each piece of art was a dance between control and chaos, a conversation between the medium and myself. The process was exciting, unpredictable, and deeply satisfying.
My work isn’t just about creating beautiful pieces; it’s about sharing a story of resilience, creativity, and the unexpected paths that life can take us on, crossing us with unexpected people along the way.
