She's Thriving!

She’s Thriving is a piece that changed everything for me. I created it during a semester abroad in Italy, a time that felt as free and full of possibility as the streets of Rome themselves.

Living in a tiny apartment with seven girls (and only two bathrooms!) taught me more than I expected, but the biggest lesson came from my roommate, Cristina. She wasn’t just my friend; she became my muse. Cristina found joy in everything she did and inspired me to see the world the same way.

One day, I dressed her in a scarf and hat from a Roman street vendor, had her dance behind filtered glass, and snapped what would become this image. Later, I brought it to life by manipulating the colors in Photoshop, letting bold golds and warm tones reflect the incredible energy she shared with the world.

This piece captures more than that singular moment; it represents freedom, joy, and finding your rhythm. Cristina’s lighthearted movements reminded me how freeing it feels to be unapologetically yourself, to surrender control, and to lean into joy without fear. The golden tones echo those moments of dancing in a field of wildflowers, a vision of pure light and growth.

What makes She’s Thriving so special to me is how it symbolizes my evolution as an artist. Creating this piece was one of the first times I allowed myself to play, to experiment, and to lean into all the little “what ifs” that make art come alive. It marked the beginning of finding my voice, a reflection of me stepping into the artist I was becoming. Cristina’s spirit sparked something in me that I couldn’t yet put into words, but I see it shining through every detail of this piece.

If you’re someone who needs that reminder—to thrive boldly and with all your heart—I think She’s Thriving might be a piece for you. It’s a visual encouragement to dance in the light, trust your rhythm, and step unapologetically into who you are meant to be. Add it to your space, and may it inspire you to find your freedom, joy, and endless light.
