That Bright Golden Light

I’m thrilled beyond words to be able to finally talk about this!

A while back, I entered one of my pieces of art for consideration in an ARDEI (Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Artwork Project. I submitted my painting called That Bright Golden Light.

When I painted this canvas, I wanted to depict the mountains that I’ve had to climb being disabled in an able world. The idea behind the piece was to make it look as if I was standing on a mountain surrounded by a sky filled with the resilient light of my spirit. I wanted to depict the fact that despite the challenges I’ve had to face, I still shine bright like the sun even though I’ve had to fight against the ableism which seeks to keep me down.

I’m so happy to let you all know that my painting, along with those by so many other talented artists, was chosen to be a banner that will be used around the different regions along with all the other pieces of art that were chosen.

I’m so thrilled and happy that my painting will bring joy to so many others in this way.

Huzzah!
