The act of painting has always been a cathartic one for me. This particular painting began its journey during the height of the BLM movement. It is a story about a mother holding space for her two kids. It is about honoring the names of those who died by police brutality. It contains fear, hope, love, and dreams of a better future.
So much more needs to be done; however, it's been my anchor when I feel helpless and consumed by the fear I have for my children. This painting serves as a reminder not to forget, forgive, and produce the change you want to see.
More to come, but I wanted to share the latest work inside the studio with you all! Please click on the link below to see the process.
May you be well and always inspired!
