“In creating this piece, I embraced the raw beauty of Rocky Mountain #5 pigment, allowing the rich ochres and deep blacks to flow across the canvas in gentle transitions that evoke resilience and tenacity. The delicate edges and subtle blends remind me of the strength found in vulnerability, while the purposeful splatters and drips signify the paths we bravely navigate. Each brushstroke was a meditation on persistence, capturing the quiet power that comes from standing tall through every trial.”
