Self Portrait of Strength, Mary Alice Landry, 2024, mixed media, 20 x 16 in. / 50.8 x 40.64 cm.

This is my self-portrait reflecting back in a mirror. It is representative of the qualities of Lion, the main one being Strength. As I look into the Lions eyes that connect back to mine, I’m embodied by the archetypal energy of Strength. Lions have become an important animal in my healing.
