This Award-Winning painting is inspired by Daphne's life experiences. Her daughter has a neurological issues that cause her not to be able to hit the proper sleep cycles, because of this she had never dreamed before and at 8 years old woke up from her first dream. That experience of seeing her daughter wake from her first dream as well as the event signifying a mother's hope for her daughter's future became the basis of this painting. Daphne also used the creation of this painting as personal therapy during stressful times and coming to terms with her daughters conditions.
