Grant Me

22×28" mixed media on canvas

A prayer offered at the end of the rope.

This piece comes out of those moments when certainty collapses and asking for help feels awkward, desperate, or unfinished. The face is split — calm and chaos sharing the same body. Marks bleed, lines vibrate, colors refuse to settle.

The title is borrowed from the opening of the Serenity Prayer, but it stops short. What’s being asked for is left unresolved.

One-of-one original.
Painted during the writing of a chapter on prayer, regret, and beginning again.
