I just hit 1,133 sales over 10 years and while the momentum is incredible, my gut is telling me it is time for a change.

I just hit 1,133 sales for the year, and while the momentum is incredible, my gut is telling me it is time for a serious pivot.
Sitting here at the studio window during golden hour with a fresh pot of tea, I am looking at the numbers and feeling a profound sense of gratitude for every collector who brought a piece of my work into their home. It has been a massive year for the lower entry point pieces, but volume can sometimes cloud the vision if you aren't careful. I am at a crossroads now where I have to decide whether to push into massive, exclusive Abstract Portalism works that demand the whole wall, or return to the intimate, quiet energy of my miniature abstracts.

There is a certain 'inevitable flip' every artist faces when the current strategy starts to feel like a comfortable habit rather than a challenge. I think I will spend the rest of the evening under the glow of the desk lamp, sketching out what that next chapter looks like before the tea gets cold.

Reaching 1,133 sales across a decade is a remarkable milestone, and that tug in your gut is just the true artist’s instinct refusing to let honest momentum settle into a comfortable habit. Whether you decide to command an entire wall with monumental portals or retreat into the quiet intimacy of your miniature abstracts, this is the exact moment to trust the sketchpad and welcome the next chapter.
