Built From Within explores the connection between the spaces we create and the foundation we build within ourselves. Created during a time of personal and physical transformation, this work reflects the quiet process of rebuilding—layer by layer. Using a fluid stain-dye technique on raw canvas, each piece embraces movement, unpredictability, and the beauty of imperfection. Rooted in themes of resilience, growth, and becoming, the series invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect to their own evolving journey. This painting is not framed but can be framed in walnut or butternut.
