"Joy In Repetition" is a vibrant oil painting that captures a poignant and intimate moment in the lives of my daughters, as they play alongside their Moodle puppies beside our pool. The work alludes to the complex nature of motherhood. As a mother, repetition becomes an intrinsic part of daily life. The painting highlights the importance of embracing and finding joy in these repetitive tasks, as they form the foundation of a nurturing and fulfilling maternal experience.

By portraying my daughters in this idyllic setting, I invite the viewer to contemplate the significance of the bond between a mother and her children. The interactions captured in the painting speak to the nurturing qualities that mothers possess—the ability to create a safe and joyous environment where their children can flourish.

"Joy In Repetition" encourages viewers to reflect on the dedication, patience, and love that mothers invest in their daily routines. It serves as a reminder that amidst the repetitive tasks, there exists an intrinsic beauty and meaning that can be found when one embraces and cherishes each moment. Here I am offering a visual narrative that celebrates the joys, challenges, and rewards of raising children. I hope this work resonate with audiences, fostering appreciation for the incredible dedication and love that mothers embody, and inspiring them to find beauty and joy in their own repetitive yet invaluable journeys.
