REST STOP 2
STRENGTH
The Middle : Finding Resilience and Power Within
Strength doesn’t always look fierce. Often, it’s steady and quiet. It’s the courage to face another day, to keep walking even when the road is uneven, and to believe that small steps matter.
Artwork #4 Title: HOLDING STEADY (Navigating the challenges with courage)
Size: 36 x 48 inches
Price: $3200 (plus tax)
There is immense power in simply holding steady — in planting your feet, even when the winds of life try to push you off course. Holding Steady is a tribute to those quiet acts of resilience, the moments where you choose, despite fear or fatigue, to stay the course. This painting represents the strength it takes to remain grounded amidst uncertainty, to trust in your own capacity to weather the storm.
Strength isn’t always loud or explosive. Sometimes, it’s the quiet determination that keeps you upright when it would be easier to crumble. This artwork captures that essence: a steadying force that reminds you of your inner resolve. Even as the world swirls with unpredictability, you have the power to stay connected to your centre, to your truth.
As you take in the layers and movement within this piece, allow it to reflect your own journey. Recognize the times you’ve endured, the moments you’ve chosen not to give up, even when it felt like the easier path. Holding Steady honours those choices — the quiet victories that build our strength over time. And in that recognition, feel the quiet pride that comes from knowing you’ve held steady through it all.
REFLECTION - Where in your life do you simply need to stay the course?
Painting #5 Title: BREAKING THROUGH (Facing and Moving through Difficulty)
Size: 40 X 60 inches
Price: $3800 (plus tax)
There comes a time when holding steady transforms into something even more powerful: breaking through. Breaking Through captures that exhilarating moment when you feel the weight begin to lift, when cracks of light push through the walls you once thought were unmovable. It’s about courage — the kind that rises when you finally dare to believe that you are capable of more than survival.
This painting is an anthem to your inner fire, the force that propels you forward when you realize that limitation is not your final chapter. The textures and energy of the piece reflect the beautiful tension between resistance and release, as you push beyond old patterns and step into new possibilities.
Breaking through isn’t a perfect, linear process. It’s messy and real. There might be setbacks and doubts along the way, but this piece reminds you that even the smallest fracture can lead to light flooding in. Let it encourage you to trust your strength, to see obstacles not as dead ends but as walls waiting to be moved aside.
Stand before this painting and feel its energy as your own. You are not defined by what holds you back — you are defined by your bravery to break through.
REFLECTION - What barrier do you feel ready to push past, even gently?
Painting #6 - STANDING IN YOUR POWER - (Owning your strength and growth)
Size: 36 x 48 inches
Price: $3200 (plus tax)
There is something deeply transformative about recognizing your own power — not borrowed, not given, but inherently yours. Standing in Your Power is a celebration of that awakening. It is the moment you stop seeking permission and realize you are the author of your own story, the keeper of your own light.
This painting radiates the energy of self-assurance and grounded confidence. It honours the journey you’ve taken — the breaths you’ve paused to take, the possibilities you’ve bravely opened to, the breakthroughs you’ve fought for. Now, you stand taller, not because life has become easier, but because you have grown stronger.
In the colours and textures of this piece, feel the reflection of your own resilience. It’s a reminder that your power doesn’t need to be loud to be real. It lives in your quiet decisions, your fierce compassion, your ability to hold space for both vulnerability and strength. Here, you no longer apologize for your presence. You embrace it.
As you absorb this work, let it anchor you in your worth. Let it remind you that you are, and always have been, enough. Standing in your power means moving forward with grace and conviction, knowing that whatever lies ahead, you carry within you the strength to rise, again and again.
