"Because I Knew You" 2025 digital painting
Growing up a theater kid, I've always loved musicals. This interest has stuck with me into adult-hood—and Wicked quickly became something that sparked that child-like whimsy and infatuation that I cherish.
I always told myself I wanted to create a piece for it that felt emotionally charged, as emotional is exactly how Wicked makes me feel. Watching the second movie is what finally ignited the passion behind bringing this idea to life.
Originally inspired by the classic painting "Romeo and Juliet" by Frank Dicksee, 1884, this drawing expresses the painful yet undying love and friendship between Galinda and Elphaba.
Whether Elphie is painfully departing, or Galinda is preparing herself to follow Elphie where she goes, that's for your interpretation, which is something I find particularly special about art in itself.
If you love Wicked as much as I do, prints of this piece can be found Here.

Why I do Both
Balancing the task of creating something that resembles what we know in real life, versus something entirely stylized and imagined, can become quite tricky. For many years I battled if dabbling in both worlds was really the journey for me. But while I thrive in the practice of adapting realism into my own reality, taking the characters we know and love from animated TV shows or even placing something real into a world visually fictional and unique instills just how limitless art truly is.
Allowing myself to embrace several aspects of creativity instead of limiting myself to what may be seen as traditional has positively influenced my growth as an artist and has scratched that "itch" of what it means to test my limits.
