These paintings are an exploration of the wild, untamed feminine, the “free spirit”, a force of nature. She is free, powerful, and focused.

Surrender
"Surrender" captures a moment of contentment and peace. The figure stands stretching, peaches in hand, sunlight shining on her from above in a moment where she is completely comfortable in her own skin. The peach is often a symbol for prosperity and happiness. The muscadines behind the figure create a depth and mood while being symbolic of endurance and regeneration.
Forgiveness
The female figure stands strong and powerful, bow at the ready. There’s a discomfort in viewing a bare breast so close to a taut bowstring, suggesting vulnerability despite the power of the pose. The archer’s gaze leads down the length of her arrow, towards a target out of frame. She is ready to shoot, but the look on her face suggests that her prey is in no danger. A gnarled tree stands grounded in the upper left corner. A symbol of wisdom and time, reaching its branches out over the archer.
