Brushstrokes Beyond Limits: 365 Stories in Paint

One artist’s journey of growth, told through 365 paintings over 365 days.

In 2025, I have challenged myself to create 365 paintings over the course of the year.

This is my way of stepping into the unknown and showing what a single person is capable of. Some days will bring bursts of creativity. Others will demand discipline and perseverance. The result will be a year-long collection that demonstrates unabridged growth and learning.

The Values of a 365-Day Commitment

  • Skill Mastery: Practicing a skill daily results in excellence.

  • Time Management: Managing a high workload requires reaching into the deepest parts of discipline and organization.

  • Purpose: Creating and giving art is my calling, and this commitment allows me to do it every day.

  • Initiative: While nothing is completely in our control, we can steer our ships in the direction we want to go. This is my vote in the direction I want to go: experiencing my favorite thing every day and learning more and more about it as a result.

Follow this Journey

Every other Sunday, I’ll update this gallery with images of the paintings created during the week, alongside an Etsy shop update where you can read about and purchase each piece.

As part of my project, throughout the year I will be offering:

  • Art Classes: Attend in-person and online classes where I teach techniques, styles, and content featured in my 365 paintings.

  • En Plein Aire Painting Days: Come out and enjoy plein air painting sessions with me in beautiful locations. I will announce these free meet-ups on my instagram and newsletter throughout the year. I will be hosting in the following states: CA, NV, HI, NE, ID, WA, WY, UT, and AZ.

  • Make Your Story A Part of “Brushstrokes Beyond Limits”: You can commission a painting of your favorite memory, place, or person and see it appear here in the collection. You can also just send me inspiration that you think I should explore.

  • Collaborations: Partner with me by sponsoring paintings in which I translate your company’s values, products, and services into a beautiful piece of art that we can hang in your work space or auction for charity.
