FROM THE ARTIST:
For years I have spent travelling and have found my love for boats. The journey, their purpose, the mishaps, and their victories. Picturing the owner smiling over their passion and wanting to experience the next adventure with them. Please join me on my travels as you browse my paintings.

Hands on top that means stop
Hands in the air comb your hair (if you got some)
Listen to me tap your knee
Don’t be weird stroke your beard 🧔🏽♂️
Look at me …look at me
Can’t wait to record this one. Guitar audio quality not good 🙃

"🎨✨ Celebrating Labor Day at cSPACE Projects! ✨🎉 Today, we raise a toast to the heartbeat of our creative haven - our incredible daily event staff at our creative hub in Marda Loop: Kate, Beatriz, Iris, Alexa, and Facilities Assistant Darrian!
💪👩🎨 Each one is an artist in their own right, weaving their magic behind the scenes. From lifting heavy loads to crafting moments of beauty, they remind us that art is indeed work, and work is art. 🖼️💼
Here`s to Kate, who adds her brushstrokes of dedication to every setup. She not only nurtures our space and our clients but also her own family with boundless love and care. 🌼❤️Darrian, the fix-it architect of seamless experiences. Beatriz, infusing creativity into every detail and creating magic moments with her camera. Iris and Alexa, lifting spirits with unwavering energy and ensuring our events run smoothly.
On this day, we applaud not only their efforts but the countless ways they contribute their passion and skill to our community. Let`s remember that labour comes in many forms, and today, we honor them all. 🙌✨ Happy Labour Day! 🎈🎊
PS We are closed to the public on Monday, September 4th. We’ll see you again on Tuesday! Have a wonderful long weekend.
