Audra is a portrait of personal reckoning. Inspired by the restless reinvention of artist Lee Krasner—particularly her bold pivot following Jackson Pollock’s death—this piece became a turning point in my own creative journey. Krasner’s willingness to destroy, deconstruct, and reassemble remnants of the past spoke to something deep in me.

Her collages were not just a response to grief, but a reclamation of voice. That same call echoed through me in the making of Audra. Like Krasner, I realized certain aspects of my work—and even my identity—no longer reflected who I truly was - I was evolving, and it was showing up in my art.

Audra emerged during a season of radical honesty and
spiritual recovery. She symbolizes the moment we peel back the layers of illusion, when the fantasy world we've constructed to survive begins to fall away. What remains is not destruction, but raw truth. Unflinching. Tender. Free.

Through torn edges and textured collage, Audra mirrors the soul’s work: cutting ties with old stories, unhealthy dependencies, and outdated definitions of self. It is not
easy to let go. But this painting reminds us—it is sacred work. What we release makes space for what is real. For what wants to flow.

Audra invites you to ditch frustration and discover your creative rhythm again. To move beyond borrowed beliefs. To trust the process. And to know that in letting go, we are not losing ourselves—we are finally coming home.
