‘Wild Child’ (2023), 120cm x 120cm acrylic on canvas, chalk, oil pastel.

This painting is for all the children out there who don’t fit our society’s expectation of “good.” The fearless, the reckless, the trailblazers. These misunderstood kids often feel things the deepest, and hold the secrets to happiness in their blazing energy. The qualities that make us tough to tame as kids are the very same ones that make us powerful shining stars as adults. Shine on, wild child!
