I chose to paint this picture of my sons because it brings a certain calm to me. The purity and innocence of young children hold a profound power in healing hearts, as their untainted perspectives and unfiltered joy create a balm for the wounded soul. Their laughter, simple in its sincerity, can pierce through layers of sadness, offering a refreshing reminder of life's inherent beauty. In their boundless curiosity and genuine compassion, there exists a pure form of connection that transcends the complexities and burdens of adulthood. When we witness their unblemished view of the world, it often reignites a spark of hope and renewal within us, gently mending the fractures of our own hearts with their unspoken grace and sincerity.”—Jennifer Baldemor
