A Queen is Born

Oil + mixed media on canvas. 36 x 36 x 1.5 inches.

"A Queen is Born" is a tribute to the strength forged through struggle—the inner queen who rises fearless, grounded, and unapologetically herself. Inspired by my own desire to step into that version of myself, this piece reflects the fire it takes to become unshakable. Every challenge, every scar, becomes part of the crown. This painting is a reminder that we don’t emerge powerful by accident—it’s through the trials, the self-doubt, and the perseverance that our true authority is born. The queen within is not inherited; she is earned.
