A living archive of our era. One painting at a time.

A leader, carried.

We are living through some fast and unpredictable times. This project is an attempt to slow that down.
Through small oil paintings, The Painted Current documents the people, voices, and quiet leaders who are shaping our era — not always the loudest or most powerful, but those who model what it means to be an inspiring human in real time.
Painting is an act of attention. Oil paint resists speed — It demands our presence in observance.
These works are not predictions or judgments. They are a record of presence — a way of saying this mattered, this person mattered, this moment mattered.
This is a living archive of now.
Thank you for witnessing it with me.
New works added regularly.
