"Daughter of the Deep Wood" Framed Original

Framed original acrylic painting on canvas board.
9"x12" canvas board (with frame 9.75"x12.75")

The daughter of the deep wood, adorned with elk antlers, symbolizes strength, intuition, and the sacred balance between resilience and sensitivity. The antlers reach upward like tree branches, anchoring her to both earth and spirit worlds.

Square cut-outs—created using tape—are a signature element in my work, representing the idea that beneath every surface lies another truth, another story. These geometric interruptions invite the viewer to look beyond the obvious, suggesting that people, like art, are built of layers, fragments, and hidden depths.

This piece is a reflection of the inner wilderness we all carry, and the quiet power found in embracing every layer of who we are.
