This painting narrates the story of Jaycee. Jaycee is an advocate and educator at Solace crisis 

center in Santa Fe New Mexico. Jaycee teaches trans 101 and consent workshops for high school, businesses, and native youth. Her life's work is represented in the painting by the equality sign horizontally running though painting.

Jaycee, a transgender woman, has known her true identity since as long as she can remember, her earliest relevant recollection is a joyful exhilaration when dressed up as bat-woman, aged four. The golden cuff she wears in the painting represents her heroinism on her journey through life. Jaycee states "the hardest thing is getting through the door each morning," facing people's prejudice each day for simply being who she is, is challenging.

In the background of the painting two triangles represent the duality of her sexuality and heritage. The downward facing triangles represents female and the upward, male. Together they illustrate the beautiful story of her transition.  

The triangles also symbolize Jaycee’s mixed heritage. She never knew her Hispanic biological father and was raised by her single Anglo mother in Texas. Growing up she felt a lack of access to her Latina identity however, she has since been able connect to that side of herself through her current community. This duality of self and culture is represented by the two triangles overlapping each other.

Jaycee was in a heteronormative relationship, married and with two children. When coming out to her children and now ex-wife, they were very supportive. Her son and daughter not only fully support Jaycee but enthusiastically advocate on her behalf. In the painting, the two flowers represent her children and their growth together in life.

Elephants are Jaycee's favorite animal, and are known to be emotionally intelligent and stick with their herd. Although it was difficult for the rest of her family to digest at first, they now fully support Jaycee, this relationship is symbolized by the elephants on each corner of the triangles. The golden dots on the underside of each elephant represent Jaycee’s partner, who has not only made her feel loved and appreciated for who she is, but beautiful inside and out. Before Jaycee's transition she was very reserved and admits to not having taken care of herself emotionally or physically. She was depressed and felt misrepresented. Now Jaycee is healthy and outgoing, and has found happiness and self-love through support and the power to fully express who she truly is. This love-born self-empowerment is expressed in the painting by golden beams radiating from her crown.
