This painting was inspired by my realization that I had lived most of my life fulfilling the expectations of others, and had created my own prison of sorts.
I finally saw through my limiting beliefs and understood that the prison door had always been open. I was free to walk away from the expectations of others and create my own boundaries.
The bright area lighting up her face symbolizes this choice of freedom. Blue, green, and amber jewel tones scattered over her white dress evoke hope and possibility.
Enjoy this oil painting as an inspiration to believe in your own voice and strength as a woman.
