I love bringing to life pieces that carry emotion, something you can feel, not just see. With Little Wrangler, I wanted her spirit to shine through: the determination in her eyes, the sense of freedom in the way she holds herself. The colors were just as important to me. I’ve always loved the bold warmth of orange and the calm depth of purple, those complementary colors on the color wheel. In this painting, I brought them together to echo that balance between strength and softness, fire and shadow. There’s something about that dance of colors that just feels right to me. Little Wrangler is a piece that’s as much about color as it is about story, and I hope viewers can feel that when they see her.
