As an abstract artist you never know beforehand what your painting will be like in the end. “Strong Backbone” was created in a time when I went through a lot of changes and challenges in my life. When I looked at the finished painting, I immediately realized that my soul was splashed out on the canvas before me. My painting reflected exactly what I was experiencing emotionally. Up to that point I thought I was just somehow getting through the rough patch in my life, barely hanging in there, somehow getting through each day. But when looking at my finished artwork I knew that I actually did much more than that: This hard time has made me stronger, had required me to get up no matter what and to keep going strong and standing up tall and going forward steadfastly, step by step.
