Trees endure storms, bend with the wind, and still reach toward the sky. I wanted to capture that feeling—the peaceful yet unwavering presence of nature. This piece reminds me that strength doesn’t have to be loud; it can be steady, enduring, and filled with quiet determination. Watch the making of this painting here.

Keeping Me Alive is inspired by the concept of finding strength. The branches growing around the woman serve as a metaphor for the support and energy that sustain us. Available to purchase from Wyong Milk Factory Tavern.
