The Work Begins Inside 
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rumi

6 × 8 acrylic painting on canvas by MacKenzie J. D. Brown, Billings, Montana.
Vivid bursts of color rise from a deep blue ground, creating a sense of inner ignition against quiet restraint. This piece reflects personal transformation as an inward act, where growth begins not with force, but with attention turned toward the self.
