(DONATION: Kelowna Women's Shelter)
collaboration with Kim Buchanan
The original painting in this picture was created for the Kelowna Woman's Shelter. The logo for the shelter is a daisy which inspired the direction of the work.
The larger Daisy is to represent the Women who leave undesirable situations and seek help and a fresh start through the shelter. The small daisy represents the children of those women.
It takes courage to make hard choices in life, even ones that will better our life. In this painting the daisies grow out of pure rock against all the odds. In their courage to grow they are met with light and beautiful energy (colors) as the women are when they come to the shelter.
This painting was inspired by anyone who the courage to make changes happen and also to all the people and services like the Kelowna Women's Shelter that aid those people in change.
