Long before these children were born, their grandmother and I were building a friendship that would last a lifetime. Our shared history, stretching from childhood into our sixties, adds special meaning to these portraits. Each painting is a tribute to enduring friendship and the beauty of family across generations.

Fierce, confident, and sweet, Thea balances strength with tenderness. Her portrait captures an authentic moment—where bold presence is softened by warmth and grace. This painting transforms a natural expression into expressive art that feels both powerful and gentle.
