About The Mini-Paintings Project

Each square on this canvas is a tiny piece of a larger story, from 90s cartoons to the phases of the moon. I started this as a 365 day painting challenge, but it quickly became a space to connect with all of you. If you have an idea or a memory that deserves a spot on my grid, let's talk about how we can make it happen.

200+ mini paintings, suggested by you. — Approved by the tribe
