EMPOWERMENT
MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE
Empowerment is a work in progress, in this series and in our lives. As women, not only are we faced with continuing the age old struggle for equality, we are often faced with our own insecurities and struggle with our own acceptance.
This series focuses on empowering women to be their authentic selves. I will continue to dig deep within myself, to find the soul changing emotions that I hope will resonate with you.

SELF-REFLECTION
MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE
36" x 36" x 1.5"
$2400.00 CAD
The title of Self-Reflection is self explanatory. I went through what some would call a transition of some sort. Life decided to throw me an incredible curveball, which I happened to catch at full speed.
I started this painting three times. The first two times didn't feel right. Finally, I settled on her. I shared this with a close friend and his first thought was; "Is this a self-reflection perhaps?" While this woman is not me... she absolutely represents all women who go through life's curveballs.
Pause. Reflect. Progress. Self-reflection is just as vital as self-care as any other type of preventative maintenance.

Her arms envelop her body, protecting her soul from the pain, from the negativity thrusted upon her, allowing her to only feel self-love. We are taught to be timid, to be quiet. We struggle to hear our own voice. A voice that tells us we are strength, we are compassion, we are beautiful. We need to open ourselves up and listen to that voice.

Part of not being heard, is not being seen. Our voices are strong, they are powerful, and yet we often fade into the background, unseen.
We see it happen, yet we stay hidden in the shadows. We feel what it does to our soul, yet we stay silent.
By learning to listen to our own voice, we will then not only be heard, but be seen.
DIVINE STRENGTH | MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE

SOLD
In a time of uncertainty, we begin to doubt ourselves, to doubt what we've believed in.
This painting was created with these thoughts in mind, the struggles we face every single day. I poured raw emotion into this piece, achieving a feeling of strength and power to continue looking forward to the good that life has to offer.

ACCEPTANCE | MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE

SOLD
"As she exhales her final burst of negative energy, she allows herself to accept her beautiful imperfections."
I dug deep when searching for inspiration to create this painting. Looking in my soul, remembering times that I would rather forget. But those times are what helped create who we are today.
We are beautiful.
We are powerful.
We are strong.
