One of my most treasured people: little Lila.
She started collecting my art in 2025. At every exhibition I’m in, she finds my work. Like she knows where the magic lives.
At Art Alive, WHPS last week, she didn’t know I was exhibiting. She walked in, saw my pieces, and took photos with each one. No Bernice in person. Just my art, speaking to her anyway.
That moment is why I paint.
Research shows kids exposed to art build stronger creativity, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Looking at art teaches them to observe, ask questions, and trust what they feel.
Moms: Art matters. It grows curious, confident humans.
Lila, thank you for collecting me. You remind me why vibrant, alive art belongs in every home.
