Our Story

My dad taught me how to draw when I was 6. After that I couldn’t put my pencil down, I just wanted to keep drawing and drawing and drawing. Something about creating something felt so liberating to me. But after he passed just a few years later, my relationship with art changed. I didn’t love it the same, I felt like I couldn’t do it justice without him.

For a season, I struggled with connecting with it. It wasn’t the creative outlet it once was. I really wasn’t sure what to do with it.
We took a family trip to the Bay Area in high school, and something about this trip made me fall in love with God’s creation in a new way. Maybe it was the way the breeze felt near the water, or the overwhelming beauty of Muir Woods. I fell in love with the creative in the Lord. My sister recently told me that God has created me to be a creator, and I was reminded of that on that trip.

He creates so I create. And I hope this is an overflow of that. Of excellence, of heart, and of love.

My dad’s name was Vijay, which means “victory” in Hindi. And I always felt like he drew his inspiration creatively from his five kids. So with a Roman numeral V, I landed on Fivth.

My goal is to create pieces that will honor my dad. But it’s mostly to tell a story of a boy who found his creativity from that of his Heavenly Father—the greatest creative I’ve ever known.
