Original Art

a girl like me... “Sometimes, you gotta be a beauty and a beast."

So... do you know a girl or young lady who is an aspiring ballerina? Or a young girl who simply does whatever it takes to reach her dreams? Sometimes it's hard, but she never gives up. And often, when required, you can see her rollin' up her sleeves, getting her hands a bit dirty, and becoming a "beast". Whatever it takes to reach her dreams, right?! 

• I created this Mixed Media painting on a 7x14 canvas using acrylics, gelatos, pastels, ink, stabilo, tulle, embellishments, and paper.
• 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 is delivered to your door with a custom tag describing the inspiring woman and the date she set the world ablaze.

a girl like me... “She fully intended on climbing mountains... and moving a few along the way.”

So... do you know a girl or young lady who has BIG dreams? Dreams as big as mountains? Not only does she have BIG dreams, but she also has ambition, drive, and motivation. No one tells this young girl that she can't do something. She CAN climb mountains, she WILL climb mountains, and she will move a few along the way. Better stay out of her path!

• I created this Mixed Media painting on an 8x10 canvas using acrylics, gelatos, pastels, ink, stabilo, and paper.

a girl like me... “Not fragile like a flower... fragile like a bomb.”

So... this is for all the young ladies who are often judged as a bit weak or perhaps a bit "fragile." People judge these ladies based on their exterior selves without ever getting to know more about them. Well, stand back! This little lady is NOT fragile; she has strength, determination, and will. And, yes, while she may be a bit "fragile", she's not fragile in the way you may think. She's not fragile like a delicate "flower"; she's fragile like a BOMB. Better stay out of her way!

a girl like me... “You play football? That's cute."

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.

a girl like me... "Yes, I'm aware that I'm a rare breed of woman."

So... this is a girl who is CONFIDENT in who she is. She fully embraces her quirks and makes no apologies to anyone on who she is, how she acts, or how she thinks. She thinks for herself, and herself only. She LOVES her personality traits that make her unique. She can take care of herself, but will often invite others to join her IF he/she complements her current fabulous life and self. If he/she detracts, well, no need to hang around. She prefers her own company to hangers-on. That's right! She is a rare breed of woman.

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

So... don't you know a young 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... he asked, "Leading Lady?" She said, "No... just call me Madam Director." (Or, "just call me Greta".)

So... this is a girl who is CONFIDENT, STRONG and IN CHARGE. Although sometimes people judge her "by her cover", she quickly and confidently sets the record straight. She puts up with ZERO disrespect... from anyone... especially, misogynist boys and men. She's a GIRL BOSS, or the President of a Company, or the CEO of her home or school, or a female director of a Golden Globe-winning film (#justcallmegreta)! No matter where or what she's doing, she will be the LEADER... because she's filled with GIRL-BOSS-POWER! Well, yeah!

a girl like me... “Princess? No... try astronaut.”

So... this girl has astronomically, cosmically-BIG dreams! She wants to travel, but not just on Earth. She wants to explore space... all of it. She wants to discover what's out there... if anything. And no one will stop her. So what if primarily men have traveled into space thus far? It's her time... and she plans to follow in the footsteps of the brave ladies before her... Sally Ride, Kathryn Sullivan, Eileen Collins, Julie Payette, Jessica Meir, Christina Koch, Valentina Tereshkova, and FILL IN THE BLANK WITH YOUR NAME!!! Go do it!

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 her name will join the list of the brave female astronauts that laid the path for her to follow.

“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.
