Original Art

a girl like me... “If ballet was easier, it would be called football.”

So... this girl is a ballerina, or maybe an aspiring ballerina. She knows all too well the difficulty level of performing pirouettes, fouettes, grand adages, or grand jetes. (spelling these terms is not so easy either!) The difficulty level of these moves is much higher than... let's say... well, how about catching a leather ball and running down a nicely manicured grassy field with a custom helmet, a team of large people blocking others from tackling you, all while garbed in safety pads galore! Well, YES... I'd say the ballet moves have a difficulty level OFF THE CHARTS compared with football!

Your girl, sister, daughter or friend will celebrate her fierceness and strength every single day when she looks at this original painting sitting on her desk or bedside table... and she will KNOW, for sure, that football players could NEVER do ballet.

• I created this Mixed Media painting on a 5 x 5 canvas (1.5" wrapped edge) using acrylics, tulle, ink, and paper.
• The words "if ballet was easier, it would be called football" are displayed along the canvas edge (see pic for a sneak peek!).
• Each painting has a slightly "hidden" date somewhere on the canvas; the date represents a date in history that a woman performed a FANTASTICAL feat!
• The painting will be delivered to your door with a custom story describing the inspiring woman and the date she set the world ablaze.

a girl like me... “Don't mistake my demureness for weakness... I am fearless, and I roar.”

So... don't you know a little lady who sometimes can be a bit of a contradiction? On the one hand, she seems a tad shy; on the other hand, she sometimes comes out ROARING. Well, this print is for all the girls, ladies, females, and women who are often judged too quickly. People may think these lovelies are weak or frail, when in fact, they can pack a FIERCE punch both physically and emotionally... give her a try, all you judgers!

a girl like me... “People will stare… make it worth their while.”

So... do you know a girl who has a look that just stops people in their tracks?! I mean, this girl has such a UNIQUE-GIRL-YOU-GOT-IT-GOIN'-ON-OO-LA-LA style! There's just no one else that can touch this girl's look and vibe. And, she wears it well... every single day. She wants the world to know who she is... she's not afraid to speak her mind LOUDLY and CONFIDENTLY, and she's not afraid to wear her style... it's her way of celebrating her outer (and inner) quirks. She screams loudly... "Wear Your Bliss, Wear Your Joy, Wear Who-You-Are!"

“she found her peace...”

So... this is for the girl who is searching for the PEACE within her soul... searching for a way to nourish and pay attention to the BRIGHTNESS she carries within her. She has such a lovely inner spirit, but she often gets overwhelmed with the crazy-information-overloaded-world that we live in. She longs to find her inner peace at times when she just needs a minute... a minute to breathe... a minute to reflect... a minute to calm and reconnect with her soul. This painting will inspire and remind this girl to nourish her inner spirit... and RELISH in the calmness of her peace.

“Today I plan to crush misogyny, destroy sexism… & eat a bit of chocolate.”

So... this is for the lovely girl who uses her courageous inner spirit to fight inequality in the world. She knows what it feels like to be thought of as "lesser than" simply because she is a girl. She goes out into the world every day and brings her "A-Girl-Game" and sets the world ablaze... but every so often, she encounters sexism, and misogyny.. and she can't for the life of her understand WHY THESE THINGS STILL EXIST?! So, she fights back... STRONGLY, COURAGEOUSLY, and RESPECTFULLY. Then, once she wins a battle or two, she relishes in the delights of a bit of chocolate... Yes... good, sweet chocolate. Sometimes, that's all a girl needs.

So... this is for the girl who is EXCELLENT, AWESOME, FANTASTICAL... anything BUT mediocre. This girl wakes up every morning and hits the ground running! She knows she has inner-girl-power-excellence, and she uses it to her advantage every single day. There's ZERO room in this girl's life for just being "ok" or "average"... oh no... these words are not in this girl's vocabulary. If you want to be part of her space, you better bring your A-Girl-Game... 'cause that's what she brings to the world every single day.

“My Mother worked too hard for me not to be great.”

So... don't you know a girl whose mom is uber incredible, and took the time, effort, and love to teach her daughter to be GREAT?! I know soooo many moms who worked endlessly to raise their daughters to be strong, independent, smart, kind, empathetic... and just GREAT. These are the daughters and young ladies who walk through life KNOWING they have a fierce mom watching their back... at all times... and they know they have what it takes to be GREAT... just like their moms taught them to be.

a girl like me... golden girl.

So... this is for the girl who has an inner spirit and soul that is simply iridescent and GOLDEN. She's magical in soooo many ways. Her eyes betray her inner spirit; you can see into her eyes the love and belief she has in the magic of the world... the butterflies represent freedom and strength, along with fragility.

“First, God created man; then she had a better idea.”

So... don't you know a girl who is fierce, independent, and strong?

She knows how powerful her inner girl-spirit is... and she plans to use it to dream BIG, and make those BIG dreams happen. "Girl power" is ever-present in this young lady... as it should be.

“princess? no… just call me Doctor.”

So... do you know a girl or do you have a daughter or do have a friend who worked uber hard and can now call herself "Doctor?"

She's fierce, smart, determined and walks confidently through life... and even when she feels a bit insecure, she never lets others see it... because, she knows deep within, that she's got this.
