To Be Her : A Self Portrait explores identity, reflection, and becoming. This self-portrait captures the quiet dialogue between past and present selves—the space between who we were and who we are still becoming. Built through layered graphite, gesso, and paint, the piece merges realism and abstraction, symbolizing the process of self-discovery and renewal. It isn’t about striving or becoming something else—it’s about being present. The work stands as a personal declaration of self-worth, truth, and arrival.
The painting comes professionally framed in a 1.5-inch deep brushed gold floater frame with a 0.25-inch reveal. The soft metallic finish complements the warmth and introspection of the portrait, adding a refined, gallery-quality presentation that enhances its emotional depth.
Size: 16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)
Medium: Mixed media on stretched canvas (graphite, acrylic, and gesso)
