The story behind

16th Birthday

Waking up early to watch the sunrise on my birthday had always been on my bucket list. In 2022,

I finally made it happen by capturing a quiet, breathtaking moment on the beach in Navarre, Florida, on the morning of my 16th birthday.

That image sat in my camera roll for years, waiting for the right time to be transformed into a painting. In February of 2025, I finally brought it to life on canvas.
