Inspiration

“When the Sky is Calling” was inspired by that undeniable moment when freedom beckons and the horizon stretches wide with possibilities.

I felt deeply compelled to paint this seagull—poised on the edge, with her wings spread, ready to embrace the vastness beyond. The sculpted wing, crafted from cotton, symbolizes the courage it takes to rise, while the textured sand beneath her feet grounds her in the strength that comes before flight.

This piece is a reflection of the courage to break free, trust the journey, and take that first step into something bigger. It’s a reminder that when the sky is calling—you have everything you need to soar.
