We are a generation of progress, of innovation, of aspirations. The dreams and possibilities we have are endless. Through passion, perseverance, and initiative, we can achieve those goals to make our communities and our world a better place. This painting represents how the steps that we take, no matter where or how small, can come together to create something beautiful, like a rainbow.

Derived from gradior is the English word “gradient,” meaning “slope” or “progression.” My painting shows a color gradient overlaying an ocean wave washing onto sand.
