12x16" | Mixed Media on Wood | Framed Original

With her back exposed and a sword in hand, she stands both vulnerable and unshakably powerful.

Never Underestimate Me is a striking mixed media work that honors the duality of softness and strength. Created with acrylic, collage, and layered texture on birchwood, this piece captures a quiet defiance — the kind that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

Fragments of cityscapes hint at survival and growth, while luminous tones suggest grace sharpened by experience. This is a portrait of protection, of self-ownership, of a woman who holds her truth like a weapon and her story like a crown.

Framed and ready to command the wall.
