Painted later in 2025, Finding Stillness came from a time when things within me were beginning to soften. I was learning to sit with the parts of myself I had ignored, judged, or simply didn’t yet know how to love.
This painting began with a particular person in mind, but somewhere along the way, our stories seemed to blur together. Was I painting her energy, or mine? Or perhaps something that existed between us?
Even now, I’m still unsure.
The overall feeling I get from this piece is a reminder that we don’t have to separate ourselves into light and dark, good and bad, worthy and unworthy.
Between it all…
“Light and dark always belong. Authenticity is never wrong.”
