I am a self-taught artist, working as a cashier and raising my daughter alone in Ireland. I paint at night, when the world quietens down. This piece is a very personal and honest look at my relationship with my guardian angel. Instead of a soft, comforting figure, my angel is tough. He constantly shows me the middle finger, forcing me to stay strong and stand firmly on the ground despite all the hardships of life. It is a story about the fierce determination needed to survive and keep creating against all odds.
