Always Growing: Starry Night

"Always Growing" is a continuous series of paintings by artist Alex Lunstra. This is a series of abstract self-portraits; each portrays the artist through various trials & emotions.

"Starry Night" gives the viewer a glimpse into a period of transition for the subject. A period of rest & growth, like a caterpillar in a cocoon - on the verge of transformation.

At this time in the artists' life, she was learning to give her past self grace, while transitioning to a new life full of art & self love, after finally breaking out of an unhealthy relationship.

"Starry Night" represents a coming of age - and the tranquility that comes after the storm, after the turmoil of loss & regaining a new appreciation for life... and gratitude for the good fortune to be able to begin again, following old dreams with renewed vigor.
