"Wild Beauty"
Format: A1 (594 x 841mm/ 23.4 x 33.1 inch), Acrylic on water colour paper.
"When we accept our own wild beauty, it is put into perspective, and we are no longer poignantly aware of it anymore, but neither would we forsake it or disclaim it either.
Does a wolf know how beautiful she is when she sleeps?
Does a feline know what beautiful shapes she makes when she sits?
Is a bird awed by the sound it hears when it snaps open its wings?
Be proud of your scars.
They have everything to do with your strength, and what you have endured.
They are a treasure map to the deep self.
Learning from them, we just act in our own true way and do not draw back from or hide our natural beauty.
Like the creatures, we just are, and it is right."
