The Lioness, 2023 Black ink and graphite on paper
The lioness is my Power Animal. I've always related to her — the courage, the patience, the knowing when to conserve strength and when to move with full force. She watches before she acts. She protects what matters. I drew this piece thinking about what it means to hold that kind of presence in your own life: not performative strength, but the quiet authority of someone who trusts her own timing.
Lionesses have moved through human imagination as figures of regal strength, fierce protection, and devoted attention. Across cultures they have stood for sovereignty held without spectacle — the hunters who feed the pride, the mothers who defend their young, the rare combination of softness and lethal precision. In Egyptian mythology the goddess Sekhmet took the form of a lioness; in many African traditions she is the keeper of the family line. Hers is a power rooted in care.
