This painting was inspired by a prior painting I created in early 2020, just as I started taking my painting to the next level. As an artist, the feeling of knowing how far you have come from the beginning of the journey is a remarkable feeling, as you blossom into the creator you have worked so hard to become, truly becoming yourself. This painting represents the change that we go through as individuals, shedding our past winter to blossom into our future spring.
