Going against the grain isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a war cry. It’s for the bold, the misfits, the ones who refuse to shrink themselves to fit into neat little boxes. It’s for the artists, the dreamers, the rebels who dare to create, speak, and live on their own terms.
This collection? It’s personal. It’s a bold expression to the idea that success comes from following the crowd. It’s a celebration of breaking rules, bending expectations, and showing up in the world as your raw, unfiltered self.
The materials I use—recycled, upcycled, transformed—aren’t just about sustainability.
They’re a metaphor. Life will knock you down, break you apart, leave you scattered in pieces. But guess what? You rebuild. You take what’s left and make something new. Something greater.
Against the Grain is a challenge. It’s asking you—are you living for yourself or for the approval of others?
Are you creating what’s in your soul, or what’s safe? Are you painting inside the lines, or are you ripping the canvas wide open?
This isn’t just an art collection. It’s a movement. It’s about finding your voice, your vision, your power. It’s about owning every broken, beautiful, unconventional piece of yourself and turning it into something that demands to be seen.
So, if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit, like you weren’t enough, like you had to shrink or shape-shift to be accepted—this collection is for you.
And if you’re ready to stop following the grain and start carving your own path—welcome.
This is art with purpose. Art with fire. Art that refuses to blend in.
This is Against the Grain.
