48 x 36, original mixed media painting created with paper collage, , string, and oil paint on cradled panel. 

Part of the six-piece Coming Home collection, this self-portrait series reflects a season of spiritual, emotional, and mental growth. This piece explores the journey from doubt to confidence in my God-given identity, embracing both growing wisdom and the mystery that comes with age.

Recurring symbols throughout the series represent transformation: the lantern symbolizes the spirit, concentric circles reflect expansion and life, and the ladder represents connection between God, humanity, and one another.
