Original artwork description:

"Aching to Find Her Voice" - acrylic on cradled wood board, 12" x 12" x 1". Ready to hang.

Oh, the path of paintings! So twisted and filled with surprises. This piece began as a sweet and cheery sketch of a bonneted girl in a patch of flowers.

As the layers thickened and the personality emerged, she became a burdened queen, worried and heavy-headed, sleep-deprived and soulful. She whispers "it's ok, it's ok. Ok to feel, ok to empathize, ok to be sad for a time." She shines light on the need to honor feelings, whatever they might be, but also to know we are powerful, holding the tools to blaze a path to happiness in our own two hands. And one of those tools is our voice.

​This piece is sold unframed but ready to hang. It will be carefully packaged in mostly repurposed shipping materials. Customs fees and duties are the responsibility of the recipient.
