Artwork story
The work, from the studio.
"Big Dreams" – the beginning of something close to my heart.
This piece is the first in my new series, Started with Crayons — a celebration of the wild, beautiful belief we all start with. It’s about that little spark in us that dreams big, before the world tells us otherwise.
Here, a child with an astronaut helmet and a floor full of crayons sketches out rockets — not just with wax and color, but with hope. It's a reminder that the biggest journeys begin with the simplest tools, and that dreaming fearlessly is something we should never grow out of.
To anyone who's ever looked up at the stars and imagined more: keep believing.
