“It is in your self interest to find a way to be very tender.”

Painting has a selection of earthy and muted pastel hues inspired by thoughts of a tender love for self, family and friends. Vulnerability can be such a gift, but a special one saved for the right people.

There is both a softness and a strength in the most vulnerable parts of ourselves that I wanted to convey in this work. A place that when shared with another, even for a moment, is such an intimate and tender gift.
