From beneath the water, the dragonfly begins as a fragile nymph—vulnerable, unseen, and grounded in stillness. Yet, through transformation, it courageously rises and breaks free from the vessel that restricted it. Unfolding its delicate wings and ascending into light and air.

This painting is a tribute to Kyla—a young woman who embodied resilience and grace through three courageous battles with cancer. Though her physical journey ended, her spirit continues—transformed, unbound, and free.

Much like the dragonfly, Kyla was reborn more than once. Her life echoes the metamorphosis depicted here: from struggle to strength, from earthly tether to luminous flight. Rich textures move from darkness to light, symbolizing her ascent and the eternal presence she now holds.

The Angel You Can See is not just a painting—it is a reminder that our loved ones are still with us, landing gently on our lives, seen in fleeting moments of beauty and grace.

Kyla the dragonfly, the angel you can see.
