• An unbreakable spirit. Always full of optimism.

  1. People put her down and rip her apart, but she never gives up. She dreams big. Doesn't allow others to define her with labels.
  2. This painting helps to affirm your confidence and strengthen your courage.
  3. To destroy any beliefs that you'll only be loved and worthy when you fit in. It keeps you in the company with fellow warriors.

  The Story Behind the Art

  1. During a lunch time walk at my dead end job, this dandelion caught my eye and tugged at my heart with its uncommon energy.
  2. I've seen it cut down many times by the lawnmower, but grew back stronger than ever.

  Staying True in the Face of Disapproval

  1. My painting was inspired by my journey to find my own voice in a world that tells me who I should be.
  2. Let your spirit be lifted by this portrait of a resilient hero.

  Truly a unique conversation piece

  1. Let this painting express who you are, and be a statement piece in your home.

  A note I received from my collector:

  
  

  "I am very fortunate to have come upon your work, because it represents so much of what I love about life! Your gentle brushstrokes and sweet subjects are just what this world needs more of."
