ARTISTS THOUGHTS
Experiencing a daughter’s adolescence will awake memories, causing a deep reflection on how childhood shapes us as women, and the role vulnerability plays in our development. An intense relationship between drawing a daughter close and letting her go, allowing her to have her own becoming.

This painting is from a series of works that are about what it means to be a woman. “She Finds Her Way” was exhibited in the Crocker Kingsley in 2021.
