For those who have followed the creation of Ascension, you know this piece has been years in the making and more than 300 hours in execution. Through the imagery of the phoenix, luna moths, Celtic knotwork, and lotus flowers, the work explores resilience, renewal, and the strength required to move forward after life’s most difficult seasons.

Having Ascension included in an exhibition at the Mint Museum is a milestone that means a great deal to me. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported my artistic journey—whether through collecting artwork, listening to the podcast, sharing my work online, or simply offering encouragement along the way.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, I’ve created a dedicated page that explores the story behind the piece, its symbolism, and the techniques used throughout the creative process.
