Why I Share My Process Openly with Other Artists

I’ve often been asked why I’m open about how I create my art — the materials I use, the techniques I’ve learned and the business decisions I’ve made.

I remember when I was just starting out — hungry to learn, unsure of myself, constantly experimenting. Finding another artist who shared even a sliver of their process felt like gold. That generosity helped shape me, and I’ve never forgotten it. If I can offer that same support to someone else now, why wouldn’t I? No one else can recreate my work exactly — just like I can’t replicate theirs.

The art world is not a zero-sum game. When we uplift each other, we all rise. I’ve found that being part of a creative community — one that shares knowledge, struggles, and breakthroughs — makes me a better artist and a better human. There's strength in collaboration, not secrecy.

Sharing my process is not just about helping others — it’s also a tool for my own evolution as an artist. People want to understand what goes into a piece — not just technically, but emotionally. By pulling back the curtain, I invite others to see the story behind the work. Step into my world today!

In the end, my art isn’t just what I create — it’s how I live as an artist.
