INNOCENTS Female dancer painting while the butterflies symbolize dreams

while the butterflies symbolize dreams fluttering nearby

coffee in hand

“The Unlikely King” became less about the moose and more about that realization: that we don’t need to become something else to be powerful

It celebrates the friendships

and butterfly remind me that even on weary mornings

INNOCENTS Female dancer painting while the butterflies symbolize dreams24" x 24" Mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas Innocents was inspired by watching my daughter find her own way. The blue bird resting beside her symbolizes readiness the moment before taking flight. Through soft textures and luminous tones, I explored how innocence evolves into quiet confidence, and how the first steps toward independence are often the most tender.
