Libre Print

This inspired my desire to be free from addiction. During the three year period that it took to create this piece, I found peace in the colors I used and the symbols I incorporated. The day I finished “Libre” was the day I found my freedom and have been on a sober journey since then. My wish is for the views to feel relief, and peace; that they too would feel the sense of freedom that mermaid is experiencing. I chose the mermaid as a representation of my future self; someone that flows with the wonders of what life is all about. The golden cage is disguised as the shadow I lived in. The open door is the chain that was finally broken. I chose to paint this piece in the style of Pop Art; in order to represent the beauty of freedom.
