"Nature Sent Me Cardinals"
Nature often sends us signs when we need them the most. "Nature Sent Me Cardinals" is a painting that represents a time where we doubt, struggle, hesitate or contemplate our lives and the direction of our path. Hoping for a sign, a cardinal appears to bring her comfort, ensuring her everything is going to be okay.
A true story while making this painting:
A woman asked her grandmother to send her a cardinal as a sign and she then saw my painting. This made my heart so full. Knowing my art brought that moment of confirmation and comfort to her. I hope this painting can also be your sign, knowing that everything is going to be okay.
COLLECTION: "If These Wings Could Fly" is inspired not only by the process of creating these pieces, but the idea that women will always continue to seek their freedom of self and self expression.
The process of creating these pieces have challenged me to let go of everything that I know and everything that is comfortable. Reminding me that I have the freedom to make changes and to try new things. It's the same in our lives.
As women we have adapted for so long. We kept quiet because it was comfortable enough and easy enough to get by...even though our words and concerns fell on deaf ears. But this series of paintings will be the reminder that women deserve to feel seen, heard and understood...deserve to fly free and to change our minds freely.
