Original painting, "Resilient" was created with intent to illuminate challenging spaces. Variegated blue, plum and pale peach hues integrate alongside a strikingly vivid deep gold. The gold shines in high contrast to the black acrylic background as if to communicate a persuasive statement of resilience. Even amongst the darkest of days the light can burn through.
