Under the Brim (hat Girl)

30"x30"

She’s a whisper of a story, a shadow of a beginning, a question left unanswered. With her large round sunglasses and tall, sweeping hat, only her nose and lips are revealed—but that’s enough to spark endless curiosity.

This image has resurfaced in my work for decades, as though she’s waiting to tell me something. I’m captivated by the mystery she carries. Who is she under that hat? Is she confident or unraveling? What secrets would I uncover if I dared to draw her story? Would the enchantment deepen—or would the mystery disappear?

She is a symbol of beginnings for me. A quiet pull to know more, to dig deeper, to step into the unknown. Her presence reminds me that it’s okay to not have all the answers. That sometimes, the beauty lies in the questions themselves.

Let her mystery speak to yours, and let her quiet allure remind you of the magic in beginnings—the promise of more waiting just beyond the brim.
