The Origin.

The Smoochies Art Collection initially started in 2016.

It was a personal project that I did as a gift for my mother. The inspiration came from my childhood memories that I share with her, whenever I would feel sad or upset, she would come and smooch me all over to show her affection and tell me that everything will be alright.

The word "Smooch" means to kiss or cuddle in an affectionate and cute way.
