No buzzkill intended, but a friend died recently. I would share that she was full of life and would hate for this to be a downer for anyone. I created this tribute art as a way to say goodbye but not forever. I believe this is how she saw herself- a powerful shield maiden who fought to protect her kin. True to her warrior spirit, she approached every obstacle with confidence, determination, and hope. In what would be the final battle, she fought to the last breath, surrounded by friends and family. It falls on those of us who remain to write her saga about who she was, how she loved, and how she touched our lives.

I hope you enjoy the art. More updates are coming to your mailbox soon!
