A cute pink teddy bear with a deep message

Throughout my career, Smiles has become my symbol of my creative process as well as a symbol of my life. Embracing “Different is Good” is a motto I have followed in my career and has helped me reach the level of creativity you see now. In order to embrace being radically different than what society expected of me, I needed to first ask a very simple but profound question… “why is that!?”

I have always said that, as adults, we can learn a lot from kids. One of the greatest lessons we can learn from kids is their open mindedness towards the World and their desire to learn. This painting is an inspiration to maintain an open mind throughout life and to embrace, think about and question all of the magic of life. Positive self change is a very personalized endeavor and everyones journey is unique however, it all often begins with the internal question… “why is that!?”.

I hope this painting inspires one to live as their true self and to live a life of forever learning, forever positively growing :)
