Hold On Tight

Original painting of a little boy hugging tight the legs of his grandpa. 🙂 This little boy is my adorable nephew, and he has grown so fast and to be such a good boy. So kind, so smart and so sensitive to everyone’s feelings. I had hoped to reflect in this painting, that comforting moment when your little one tugs and hugs tightly at the bottom of your legs, knowing that if he/she holds on – they’ll be OK. Those moments and days drift by so quickly, but are so wonderful while they last. ♥

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
