I lived in San Francisco from the age of 19 to 26, and it has shaped me in so many ways. I’m lucky to call it my second home. This painting holds a special place in my heart because it captures the highway exit I always took to get home—a view filled with glowing streetlights and vibrant cityscapes. The colors, the lights, the energy—it all brings a deep sense of nostalgia. It’s more than just a place; it’s a part of me, something I love in a way that words can’t fully capture.
