This painting is part of an ongoing theme of mine, 'Sky Travellers'. Through these works, I strive to create a sense of great ease within abnormal circumstances. Like that 'fish out of water' sense but a mastering of this scenario and bringing to it a deep sense of inner strength and lightness of being.

This series features young women, in their own company, strong and determined and with an air of magic. Like they hold within a certain something that will carry them through whatever life throws at them or wherever they choose to go in the world.

I like to bring forth the idea that women hold a magic and wonder and an etheral presence. An intangible quality that gives them a 'lift'.

In this particular painting, shows a young woman who is so comfortable in the dissonant skies, that she has grown a ladder for legs. Lide a 'sky-maid' instead of a mer-maid.

And even though it seems to be a still day with light fluffy clouds in the distance, she carries her own breeze (her own magic) with her as shown by her kite tangled hair.
