A detailed print of my original painting titled ‘And Yet, They Persisted.’
Introducing the sixth 2026 ‘word of the year’ painting was inspired by the word ‘resilience.’
I started going to therapy when I was 7 or 8. After experiencing years of sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend, my brain, heart, and spirit were broken. In therapy, I played, talked and painted. I think it was there that I learned the importance of painting my feelings. My hands could express all of the emotions that I did not have words for. To this day, that is my favorite thing about artwork - it captures all of the emotions and experiences that we cannot describe in our own language. It speaks the language of the heart and soul.
Throughout my years of going to therapy, there were many images I visualized that would help me. This is one of those images, and it’s been an honor to finally paint it. When I have experience heartache, betrayal, abandonment, depression, or any other trial in my life, I have looked to the trees. How graceful and brave they are in the face of adversity!! How adaptable and strong. I want to be like them. Not growing bitter, but just growing. Growing stronger and more confident. I know that in life there are many, many storms ahead of me. This painting gives me courage to be resilient and strong in the face of mighty winds.
The winds came and stretched me more than I thought possible. So many times, I felt as though I would break. One day, I would I look down and see how mighty my roots had become, how firmly planted I was. Finally, many years later, I felt gratitude for the winds that had made me so very strong.
I believe this deeply in my heart - that one day, all of us can be grateful for the winds that sometimes felt like they would break us.

Canvas Details
Canvas prints are made lovingly by hand in the United States, and are shipped directly from my supplier to you. Reflective gold is NOT able to be added to the canvases due to the way they are made and the protective coating used on them. The gold colors in canvases will be a flat gold color as shown in the listing images.
Unframed Canvases have a wrapped image and a 1.5" edge. They have a sawtooth hanger in the back for easy installation.
Framed canvas prints come in either a white, black, or gold floater frame. Floater frames create the illusion that the artwork is floating inside of it. They elevate the artwork and the perfect finishing touch. Framed canvases have a 1.5" edge and come with a hanging wire in the back for easy installation.
Canvases are printed on thick archival grade, poly-cotton canvas. The canvas is pH neutral, acid-free, and will not yellow over time.
Canvases are perfect for gifting!
