Personal Story:

From the corner of my eye I saw something waving in the wind on the ground and I had the feeling it was a butterfly. I found this beautiful Monarch lying on the hot concrete ground and when I went to pick it up I realized it was in its final stages of life and was actually in the process of passing away. I carefully picked it up so it wouldn’t have to lay on the heated ground and I held it in my hands with one hand slightly over it. All I wanted to do was pour complete love and safety into this creature. I prayed over it and told it it wasn’t alone and as I kept pouring love into this beauty I could feel it’s muscles begin to relax and I stayed with it holding it till it’s final hour. This piece is incredibly personal to me because it was my first time actually holding a butterfly while it was passing. I wanted to create a piece that represents life and beauty because this butterfly absolutely deserves just that.
