    Size: 30 x 30 in. / 76.2 x 76.2 cm.

    Beat of Her Own Drum is really about someone settling into who she is. The headdress carries so much of her story — the color, the culture, the way it frames her presence — and she wears it in a way that feels natural, not performative. The flower adds this quiet note of individuality, almost like a small reminder of what she carries within. The whole scene moves with her own rhythm, not the world’s. She’s rooted, expressive, and completely at ease in her pace. That’s the energy I wanted to hold onto in this piece.
