Birth of My Star

Birth of My Star refers to a moment in time, a moment when something that had long confounded me slipped into place and became clear; the moment when I gained clarity and confidence in my own unique creative voice. In the end, what I had labored over was simple. I only have to lean into what makes my heart sing and my unique voice emerges naturally. Finding my voice is not an intellectual pursuit, it’s a letting go. And in the letting go, in the choosing, fiercely and without fail, what has meaning for me, my star shines forth.

One of my most supportive collectors resonated with the image and the story. It was especially poignant to me for her to own this piece.

Oil and cold wax medium on cradled board, 24x30x1.5", August, 2025.
