This joyful acrylic work explores a different facet of the artist's journey: the freedom of identity found within the beautiful, unpolished reality of motherhood.

Titled "A Mother's Joy," the piece is a self-portrait of herself holding her healthy child, serving as a visual metaphor for a "crash course" in patience and grace. By depicting herself in a moment of public vulnerability—scarf on and clothes unkempt—the artist celebrates the purest feeling of being "herself" while embracing the demanding and often messy nature of her role.

Technically, this work represents a pivotal shift as the first exploration of a new painting style. The artist utilizes loose, transparent, and semi-transparent strokes layered intentionally to build depth within the subjects. This technique mirrors the layers of motherhood itself—complex, overlapping, and built over time. The vibrant purple and gold-tone palette suggests a royal dignity found within the ordinary. The piece serves as an unfailing reminder that our truest identity is often discovered in the quiet, unrefined moments of love and care.
