When was the last time you truly saw yourself—not as a caregiver, a supporter, or someone defined by others' expectations, but as the person you are beneath it all? Sometimes, in our devotion to others, we lose sight of ourselves. Whether it's giving endlessly to those around us or feeling indebted to those who have cared for us, we often sacrifice pieces of our identity in the name of love and duty.
The third book in the 'Windy City' series by Liz Tomforde brought this struggle to life through the complex relationship between two characters who grapple with these very challenges. It reminded me of a powerful truth: love and care for others should never come at the cost of losing yourself. True happiness is found not in abandoning who you are but in embracing it fully.
This painting is inspired by that realization. It represents the journey of rediscovering oneself, a process of growth, healing, and self-acceptance. Your insecurities don’t define your weakness; they are the foundation of your strength. When you acknowledge them, face them, and grow from them, you evolve into a more confident and authentic version of yourself—a version shaped by resilience and self-awareness.
Through this piece, I aim to capture the beauty of that transformation and the joy of reconnecting with your true self. It’s a reminder that self-care is not selfish—it’s essential, and it’s what allows us to love and give without losing who we are.
Title: "Embrace yourself"

The painting has additional 3-4" ( 7-10 cm.) borders around the art for convenient stretching. Additional borders of the canvas are painted so after stretching it can be hung with or without a frame as preferred.
Not stretched. You'll receive it rolled, in a tube. Ready for stretching.
I recommend stretching your painting in a local custom framing shop. It will be the most affordable and easy way for you to get a big stretched canvas.
