"Tears of Joy,” 40” x 40,” Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Canvas
**10% of proceeds of my BrAvery collection will be donated to Winning With Wyatt, a local nonprofit that supports pediatric brain surgery research, an area in critical need of support.**
Part of my 2025 “BrAvery” Collection, this piece is inspired by the unimaginable strength, resilience, and bravery of our 3-year-old daughter, Avery, as she underwent brain surgery this spring for a tumor. Her spirit through it all has blown us away, and we’re beyond relieved and grateful for the positive outcome—her tumor was fully removed, and it was benign.
Creating Tears of Joy was a cathartic process. I built it up in many, many layers, using both paint and water spray, letting color pour and drip off the canvas like the flood of emotions we felt when we heard the words “benign.” The bold, playful shapes that emerged represent hope, healing, and the moment Avery returned to herself in her recovery—just a sweet, joyful toddler again, surrounded by her toys.
