The confidence of a woman who knows her worth speaks louder than any words or actions. There is a beautiful power that comes from relinquishing reliance on outside influences - I believe this inner strength enables our ability to express ourselves. There are thousands of ways to pleasure ourselves and others, yet our society has tarnished sexuality with negative connotations as if the desire for pleasure is obscene…This painting is about taking back the honor and pleasure that we all deserve to give to ourselves first.
