This painting captures three pairs of my Vans, stacked together—a tribute to the shoes that have walked alongside me through different seasons of my life. Each pair tells its own story, scuffed and worn from countless steps, yet they remain timeless and true to who I am.
Vans have been my go-to for years, a reflection of comfort, creativity, and the everyday adventures that shape me. They’ve carried me through long painting sessions, moments of self-discovery, and the simple joys of movement—whether chasing my kids, running errands, or just existing in the world as an artist and mother.
Stacked together, these shoes are a reminder that our past, present, and future are always connected. Every step we take builds upon the last, shaping the path forward.
