Description
This painting is about the child within us and the person we become.
I see them as two sides of the same fence. One is filled with wonder, curiosity, ideas, and the courage to explore what might be possible. The other carries wisdom, discernment, and the lessons gathered along the journey. Neither stands without the other. Together, they tell the story of who we are.
The flowers and symbols represent growth, possibility, and the experiences that shape us over time. Each element became part of a larger conversation about becoming—about learning how to move through life without losing the parts of ourselves that once dreamed so freely.
What captivates me most are the eyes. They seem to draw people in. Everyone who spends time with this piece finds themselves pulled toward them, and I think that's because the painting becomes a mirror. People often believe they are looking at her, but after a while, they're really looking at themselves.
To me, Wisdom & Wonder is a reminder that the child who imagined endless possibilities and the person who learned life's lessons are not separate beings. They exist together, forever in conversation, teaching one another how to see the world with both open-hearted wonder and hard-earned wisdom.
