“Free” – 9x12 Colored Pencil and Ink on Paper (2023)

Free is a 9x12 inch original self-portrait created in colored pencil and ink, radiating with the energy of transformation, reclamation, and healing.

The central figure gazes forward with open, unflinching eyes—her expression calm, assured, and whole. Vibrant strands of color flow through her hair like waves of energy, encircling her and weaving through repeated affirmations of liberation: I am free. Orbs of yellow, orange, and red pulse around her like suns, each filled with handwritten declarations of strength and survival.

Created in June 2023, this piece honors the artist’s personal journey through years of abuse, trauma, and grief—and the light that followed. It is a bold declaration of identity, power, and peace reclaimed. Free is a visual mantra, an embodiment of freedom not given, but seized.
