About The Artwork

The work is a depiction of two figured (both me). One figure has a hood on and the other without. This is inspired by the leap of faith I have taken to pursue my talent of painting full time by following my heart and not hide behind someone else's shadow and conform to the norms of society. I want my viewers to be moved and also be influenced by, as I have been liberated. I hope the trapped souls of the viewers will also ignite and fly to those dreams and possibilities they once had as a child.
