Seven paintings. Seven observations on the way to becoming yourself.

“Living for the first time” is a series about freedom after loss and the strange, beautiful experience of slowly being who you truly are.

I created each painting intuitively on raw cotton canvas. I didn't know what I was doing but the paintings clearly showed me the way forward and I tried not to hinder but let them come to live the way they needed to.

This series is for you because you're living for the first time!

It's time, butterfly!
