Who We Become

On the journey to  womanhood we are who we become. This painting will take you from conception to birthing the woman, we become the woman who is enough.

    This mixed media piece was from a desire to learn to do portraits. The class was given by Christa Forrest. I watch my piece come to life, and loved her through the good bad and ugly stages. Now she is Beautiful and she knows that " she Is Enough. created by Valerie Rich.
