This piece is the first pull of what became a heartfelt four-part series created to honor a truly special family and their journey. “Evan 1” was the original painting that sparked it all, though it was later replaced by a more intimate close-up to better fit the tone of the final series. Still, I’ve always loved the way this version turned out—it carries its own energy and warmth. I gifted it to my friends so they could pass it on to grandma, a gesture filled with meaning. Inspired by a moment I captured during their engagement session, this painting represents a beautiful full-circle moment—from photography to fine art, from love story to legacy.
Blending photography and painting felt like the most natural way to honor their bond—two forms of storytelling unified in a single expression. Every brushstroke in “Evan 1” captures the spirit of a joyful, bright, and gifted young athlete in the making. His energy, potential, and light shine through in this piece, and I poured my heart into preserving that essence. This painting is more than an image—it’s a reflection of love, connection, and the deep gratitude I feel for being a part of their journey.
