Inspired by an essay in Patti Digh's upcoming book, The Geography of Loss, I created this piece recently. I've found that you do get stronger from experiences of walking through the fire. This was painted with acrylic on paper.

This is awesome – and…I learned a new word which is also awesome:) Walking through the fire does change you, makes you stronger.

Your work captures so much emotion. It is beautiful. Do you mind if I ask you if the fact that the fire has a beginning and an end in this painting is on purpose? Also,it appears to be almost, all-encompassing at one point. It is all very beautiful and captures that glimmer of hope that loss perhaps can move from the extreme forefront of ones life eventually.
