Hand painted Toe Shoe for YAGP’s 26th Anniversary Gala

A symbol of strength and grace, this hand painted pointe shoe was created for the Youth America Grand Prix Gala to honor the resilience of women. A fierce tiger rests among delicate roses and sharp thorns a reminder that beauty and strength often walk hand in hand. This piece captures the essence of a dancer’s journey rising through pain, finding power, and embracing the bold, untamed beauty within.
