About six months ago, I came across a micro gallery online and was instantly inspired. The idea stuck with me. Like most things in my life, I moved slowly at first—feeling it out, seeing if it was meant to be. But once I started moving on it, things came together surprisingly quickly, as if the idea had been waiting for me to say yes.

I’ve been a fan of Cheryl Humphreys’ work for years. There’s something about her process and her use of color that’s always stuck with me—quiet, intentional, and full of feeling. So when I finally saw her work in person at a local gallery, it hit even harder. I knew I had to reach out.

It all begins with an idea.
