Description: Freedom's First Season, by Alicia Living. A 11x16 inch frame with a white matte frame around the art print on thick paper (sized 8x10 inches). Proceeds from this artwork directly support National Alliance of Domestic Violence, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence. By purchasing this painting, you are not only collecting a work of art—you are investing in hope, resilience, and the belief that every survivor deserves a future filled with light, warmth, and renewal.

As an artist, mother, and survivor of domestic violence, my work is rooted in lived experience. This acrylic painting shows the powerful moment just before freedom—the quiet, courageous pause where survival begins to transform into hope.

The soft willow blossoms are the very first sign of spring in the grey stillness at the end of winter. Like survivors, willows embody an inner strength that endures through the harshest of seasons. The bird, poised and waiting, represents freedom. This painting is a testament to the moment when survival turns into possibility.
