Freedom - The Art of Letting Go
Freedom Begins Where I Let Go
This design began as a piece I once abandoned. When I returned, I let go of structure and expectations—creating freely, with pure flow.
Using acrylic paint and gold leaf, I painted instinctively—creating a bold, textured design that radiates joy, freedom, and expressive energy.
Materials & Techniques
Paint: Acrylic
Surface: 11x16” economical canvas
Tools: Flat paint brush, palette knives, gold leaf
Technique: I began by using a flat brush to lay down the base on the canvas, then built up layers and texture primarily with palette knives. To add a distinctive touch, I applied gold leaf, giving the piece a unique and eye-catching element.
Every design tells a story.
Each piece begins as a hand-painted original, created with care and intention.

Freedom Shoes were born from bold, instinctive expression—featuring hand-painted designs crafted into everyday wear.
“Freedom” reminds me that not everything needs to be perfectly planned. Sometimes, the most beautiful creations come when we let go and simply create from the heart.

Exploring Possibilities: Custom Artwork on Various Products
While I specialize in unique, hand-painted shoe designs, I’m excited to show how my artwork can also enhance other products. The examples here are conceptual mockups that demonstrate how my designs could be customized for items like business cards, tote bags, packaging, and stationery.
Conceptual: These mockups illustrate how my art might look on products such as business cards, journals, and office supplies. Though not yet produced, they showcase the potential to elevate your brand.
Whether tested or conceptual, I’m eager to collaborate and create custom designs that bring your vision to life.
