They grow up so fast. Yesterday was the niece’s 5th birthday. Princess themed (of course). The older she becomes the more defined her sense of colors, space, composition become. Her style is certainly unconventional and her definition of a princess is not one that you’d often find in a Disney film. Intertwine the traditional princess and Lady Gaga and you have my niece. She’s quite a character.

There isn’t a doubt that she’s a right-brained thinker. When she draws, she composes complete stories and shares them with me. I remember she drew a princess behind bars with a butterfly, complete with flight trail. She later explains how the princess was trapped and a butterfly flew into a window and transformed into a prince and rescued her.
