Living between art and multiple sclerosis
In a world that constantly tells us to do more, move faster, and be better, the bravest act might be simply to pause, and feel.
That’s what this piece gave me: permission to bloom slowly. Without performing. Without rushing. Just being.
Sometimes, we look for transformation in big moments. But real growth often happens quietly, in the in-between. In those still places where we reconnect with our truth, layer by layer.
✨ A Mirror to Reconnect With Yourself
Rooted on Her Light isn’t just a painting. It’s a mirror. A space to remember that being still doesn’t mean being stuck. That your value isn’t measured by how much you produce, but by how deeply you exist.
This plus-size woman, eyes closed and framed by golden sunflowers, taught me something radical:
You don’t need to be “fixed” to be worthy, or change to be loved.
You just need room to breathe and be.
Her lips painted in bold pink, her flowing dark curls, and her grounded presence say more than words. She’s not demanding attention, she’s simply being. And in that being, there’s power.
The background flows with colors I didn’t try to control. I let them move freely, like feelings that finally had space. This freedom made the canvas feel alive. And in that process, something deeply honest emerged.
💛 What Can This Piece Offer You?
Maybe she’ll sit quiet in your home, reminding you that soft doesn’t mean weak, or she’ll reflect your story: your strength, your pauses, your beauty. Maybe she’ll be the encouragement a friend needs when life feels too loud.
Art like this doesn’t shout. It listens. It holds space. And most of all, it reminds you that your journey, just as it is, matters.
