“Recovery Girl” is a deeply personal mixed media portrait that symbolizes the strength and transformation found through recovery. The expressive face, framed by flowing hair and crowned with florals, gazes outward with both vulnerability and determination. Layers of paint, texture, and text echo the complexities of healing — where brokenness and beauty intertwine.

This painting was originally created for a nonprofit exhibition centered on recovery, though the event never came to pass. Even so, its journey continued: the piece found a home with a friend who not only loved it aesthetically but also understood the emotional resonance behind it. In that way, “Recovery Girl” continues to live out its purpose — inspiring connection, conversation, and hope.

Collectors who value art with story and symbolism will find this piece unforgettable. It speaks not only to recovery from hardship but also to the universal human experience of transformation — the courage to rebuild, reimagine, and rise stronger than before.
