Textured acrylic paint and clay on cradled wood panel
Becoming Her is a reflection on personal growth, transformation, and the journey of becoming the woman we aspire to be. Inspired by the idea that growth is an ongoing process, this painting explores how our experiences, choices, and challenges shape who we are and who we are becoming.
Individually hand-formed clay lines of varying lengths and colors are arranged intuitively across a textured, cradled wood panel. Each mark contributes to the composition, reflecting the different experiences and stages of personal growth. The sculptural forms create movement and rhythm, while shifting light and shadows reveal new relationships between the elements throughout the day.
Becoming Her celebrates the beauty of evolving, embracing change, and giving ourselves permission to grow into the women we want to become.
