The story behind “Choosing You”:
This piece was born out of tension—out of that internal pull between fear and freedom, resistance and release.
Choosing You isn’t pretty in the conventional sense. It’s raw. Unapologetic. A wolf mid-snarl, baring its teeth in a moment of primal intensity. But there’s something deeper here—something that surprised me as I painted.
The more I worked, the more I realized this wasn’t about anger or defense. It was about choice. The choice to show up fully. The choice to stop shrinking back. The choice to stop running from the parts of ourselves we’ve tried to hide—the wild, the fierce, the vulnerable, the messy.
For me, this piece represents the moment I stopped trying to fit myself into a version of life that felt safe but small. It’s the moment I stopped trying to earn love or worth and started choosing to believe that God already had—choosing to believe I was worth showing up for, worth fighting for, worth loving exactly as I am.
Painted in soft, earthy tones with dripped edges and layered textures, this mixed media and oil piece carries the same organic, unfinished feeling as much of The Firmament Collection. But its energy is different. It leans in. It takes up space. It refuses to hide.
Choosing You is a visual reminder that sometimes the fight isn’t against the world outside you—but the fear inside you that says you’re not enough.
And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is choose to show up anyway.
