Being . A painting about boundless freedom.

42 x 30 inches | Watercolor and Ink on 300 lb Rag Paper
From the Ascending Series
A luminous celebration of liberation and transformation, "Being" captures the moment a radiant rose bursts forth into the universe. Painted in watercolor and ink, and pearlescent paint on heavyweight rag paper, this 42 x 30-inch piece is both delicate and powerful — a visual metaphor for release, renewal, and the joy of creative rebirth.

The central bloom rises from a corset-like form, symbolizing the shedding of constraints and the embrace of new energy. Surrounding it, a hand-rendered border of vibrant florals and mosaic-like patterns frames the composition with timeless elegance. The deep black background enhances the vivid colors, creating a sense of cosmic depth and motion.
Part of Kathy Poitras’ Ascending series, this artwork is ideal for collectors who resonate with themes of emotional growth, spiritual awakening, and the beauty of bold self-expression.
