Any time our bodies show obvious physical differences from what is considered 'normal', there can be so many outside voices telling us our bodies are wrong, and that we need to be different.
Vitiligo is a skin condition where parts of the skin lose pigment over time, and is often met with stares and misunderstanding. In contrast, variegated flowers are considered some of the MOST beautiful, and are highly sought after - as well as expensive!
 
Whether you have hypo- or hyper-pigmentation, freckles, moles, scars, anything else that adds to the color variation in your skin, just remember; You're variegated!
And there's no wrong way to be  a flower.

Red roses stand for love, and White roses stand for worth. I loved the idea of them mixed together in the variegated rose, taking on a meaning of "I am worthy of love".

"I Am Worthy" is an 8x10" watercolor painting on archival paper, and will ship unframed.
