Part of the family The Art of Being You – celebrating the woman you truly are.
You are a gift. Everyone else is already taken.
One day a woman walked past my old studio in Tübingen with her husband and her child. She wore a little dress and a hat, and she was utterly enchanting – so completely herself.
I asked if she would model for me, just as she was, and placed her on a little wall above the river Ammer, in full view of every passing tourist. The first two attempts, she was still holding back. Then came the moment she stepped beyond herself – into her own uniqueness, radiant and fearless. That moment became this painting.
The original now lives with a woman in Switzerland who has changed so much in her life in recent years. She chose Born to Be Me as her anchor – for every choice she makes, for standing up for herself, and for celebrating who she is.
