I finished this piece just before I left on holiday in December and I realized I forgot to share it here.

I actually started this piece in Ivy’s class in Italy in 2017 as a transferred image. I abandoned it as you can tell because 2 years had passed. I kept it because I loved the collage work I had done on the lower part of the piece. When I was sorting through pieces for my auction, I stumbled upon it and I thought it might be time to finish this piece. I love how patient my pieces can be… waiting for me to return and how they come into fruition right when they are meant to. I love trusting the process.

I can so see how my style has changed over the years and I know how different she would have looked in 2017. I love who she is today and I was so grateful to have finally found my way.

I love this theme so much about finding “home”. I want to dig a little deep with this theme, it’s very close to my heart. As someone who moved around so much through my life, home has at times felt like a liminal space and maybe something I have silently been searching for, for as long as I can remember. As I’m getting older, I’m beginning to think more about maybe it’s what’s within vs a physical space.
