'Babygirl' Fine Art Print

Babygirl

Babygirl, You Hold the Power was inspired by the lyric from Aretha Franklin's A Rose Is Still a Rose, a song that became the soundtrack to an important chapter of my life. In 2021, I moved to Castlegar, British Columbia, to live with an incredible group of young women who brought warmth, friendship, and laughter during a time when the world was still recovering from the isolation of COVID-19. One of my housemates, Nat, played this song often, and its message stayed with me.

Being far from my family in Australia and New Zealand wasn't easy, but that house became a place of healing and rediscovery. It reminded me that even when life feels uncertain, the strength to keep going already exists within us. More importantly, it encouraged me to reconnect with my creativity and return to making art.

This painting is a tribute to that season of growth, to the people who helped me find myself again, and to the simple but powerful reminder that we all hold more strength than we sometimes believe.
