Thriving and Through

Mixed media: acrylic paint, ink, marker

Thriving and Through is an abstract piece that explores ways that we blossom, shine, heal and move through pain. As we thrive and experience daily life, we center love, joy, and liberation. Our thriving, our resilience comes from that centering and from our ancestors who *are* always Thriving and Through. I give thanks to my parents and theirs, Alice Walker, Octavia Butler, as well as educator/scholar Bettina Love for inspiration on this piece.
