I work a 9-to-5.
I paint anyway.

Posts that sound like you — not like LinkedIn. The bridge between government product work and a creative life that refused to wait for a better time.

Your Voice on LinkedIn

"I work a 9-to-5 managing enterprise software contracts for New York State. I have made art for over 20 years. I post here about what happens when those two things live in the same person — and why neither one waits for the other to be finished."

The CTA — always this

"If this resonates and you want to actually sit down and make something — I run free Painting with Joy sessions. No experience needed. Link in bio."
