An energetic, whimsical and bright painting inspired by unbridled authenticity and JOY.
A painting inspired by a little girl fully committed to being totally and utterly herself.
The words I say to her every day before school. ‘Have fun and be yourself’.
Her little face when she says, ‘I will Mama, you too’. The letters I write to her about life and some of the lessons I have learnt along the way.
A painting inspired by my daughter who has taught me more about being my authentic self than she will ever know.
When did we stop being ourselves? When did we think it was necessary to shrink ourselves to fit in or become someone else in the hope of being accepted? Chances are if you are reading this you will remember exactly when it was. We all have a story, but maybe part of growing up and healing is coming back to exactly who we have always been, exactly who we are.
This painting is a party, a celebration and a reminder to have fun and be our full, unique and wonderful selves.
Unbridled authenticity and JOY
