Elephants became my mascot in the early days of my return to art. i was dreaming big and i had a lot of ols stories and limiting beliefs dragging me down. The elephant, with its symbolic message of breaking through barriers and being unstoppable, won my love and devotion. The big breakthrough that this painting offered me was showing me a limiting belief that was restricting my creativity. I began painting a gray elephant and was feeling kind of down about it when I had the breakthrough thought, i can paint this any color i want! What resulted is one of the signature piece of my entire career, an award winning breakthrough painting which has won many hearts and souls.

This painting is part of the Make Your Mark project and got its initiation at an event in 2018 where visitors were invited to write their dreams and intentions onto the blank canvas which became BE UNSTOPPABLE. The progress photos show how it began, and i think you can even still see some of the original “gray” elephant i started to paint before the epiphany!
