A Mother’s Prayer

Original Graphite Drawing on Paper | 22” x 18”

A Mother’s Prayer is a deeply personal graphite drawing capturing the quiet strength of a mother bison and her calf. Created over two months of meditative mark-making, this 22” x 18” piece explores the artist’s intertwined roles as mother and creator — a visual reflection of love, uncertainty, and the prayers we carry for our children.

What began as an experimental shift from smaller drawings to a larger format became a profound emotional process. The sweeping sky, drawn first to set the tone, evolved through intuitive choices and quiet struggle. The calf beside its mother is more than subject — it’s a symbol of vulnerability, hope, and the longing to protect, even when we can’t.

This work speaks to the universal experience of parenting, the quiet power of nature, and the healing ritual of creation. A Mother’s Prayer invites viewers to feel, reflect, and connect — a soulful addition to any collection.
