Acrylic and Crayon on Canvas | 16×20 inches | 2025 | Divine Feminine
There is a particular quality that exists only briefly — in the very young of every species, in the first days of everything, in the moment before the world introduces itself and its complications. It has no adequate name in any language except the one it gives itself simply by existing.
Innocence.
This fawn knows nothing yet of hunters or highways or the particular weight of a winter that goes on too long. It stands in its soft pink world with the wide-eyed, slightly surprised expression of a creature that has just arrived and finds everything — absolutely everything — fascinating and safe and worthy of its full attention. The white spots on its back are still fresh, still the markings of the very young, still the camouflage of a being not yet ready to face the world without them.
The background is the colour of a nursery dream — soft pink and white, layered and textured with the particular richness of paint applied with feeling rather than precision. Words emerge from the surface the way words emerge from the subconscious — innocence written and half-written, the word becoming the world becoming the word. Two small blue trees stand sentinel above the fawn like guardians, their jewel-bright colour a tender contrast to all that soft pink warmth.
The crayon marks running through the composition are not accidental — they carry the energy of a child's hand, of drawing before self-consciousness arrives, of mark-making as pure instinct and joy. They are the visual equivalent of the fawn itself — unguarded, immediate, completely itself.
Part of the Divine Feminine series — because innocence is one of the qualities the series is built to celebrate, one of the things the world most reliably and most unnecessarily takes from women, one of the things most worth protecting, honouring and remembering.
And yes — this is the most perfect baby gift imaginable. A painting about innocence, made with a child's energy, soft as a nursery and wild as a forest simultaneously. For the baby who just arrived and finds everything fascinating. For the parents who understand what they have been trusted with.
