"I painted this piece for a dear friend of mine who was very ill. It was a way to hold her in sacred space, to give her my love and prayers. She and I both had rough upbringings, and we're very different, but we claim each other as sisters. I get my steel backbone from her, and she gets her softness from me. She's my Annie Oakley. When you have deep soul friendships throughout life, you know how special it is. As women, as sisters, we need to be aware of each other and hold each other up. I try to do that through my painting. Art is how I pray."
