Climb aboard my not-so-trusty 1953 Dodge M43 ambulance—welcome to mobile art studio! I’m on a quest to uncover gems and quirky, off-the-beaten-path spots that most folks wouldn't dare explore. Armed with a paintbrush and a questionable sense of direction, I’ll share my creative process and the stories behind each piece, all while possibly getting lost along the way. Buckle up; it’s going to be a wild ride of creativity
