“this piece is special to me because my daughter posed for me to invoke the spirit of strength and determination. we had just moved to the city, from the suburbs and she was starting a new school. i am so proud of how she has handled herself as a young woman, navigating change the upheaval of her life. her spirit animal is a wolf, although she is really quite sweet on the inside. to look at her, you can tell that she means business.” - Martha
