What the Mountains Taught Her 🏔️
Femininity & Freedom series— No. 2
For the second painting in my Femininity & Freedom series, I wanted to tell the story of a woman shaped by Appalachia.
The mountains taught her to be resourceful. The wild herbs taught her how to heal. Hard seasons taught her resilience. And the mama bears taught her that a mother can be tender and nurturing, yet fiercely protective of her children.
She carries the old ways with her—the kind of wisdom passed down through generations. She knows how to make something from little, how to care for the people she loves, and how to make a home feel safe.
She learned many things from the mountains.
But perhaps most importantly, she learned how to become one herself—steady, beautiful, and strong enough to weather any storm.
