Turning Pointe

Surreal mixed media painting of a ballerina en pointe with a ribbon-like line overhead, paired with a faint unicorn on a soft, misty backdrop.

A ballerina balances en pointe in a deep backbend, her arm extended as a flowing ribbon arcs above her. Behind her, a softly rendered horse emerges in pale tones against a light, misted background of blush and gray.
The dancer appears absorbed in the rhythm, translating sound into motion. The presence of the horse suggests the imagined force behind the music—its thundering cadence carried through her body. The piece holds concentration and surrender at once, where discipline becomes a vessel for something larger moving through her.
