Born October 4, 1992, Rupi Kaur is an Indian-born Canadian poet, illustrator, and author. Kaur rose to fame on Instagram and Tumblr through sharing her short visual poetry. She received widespread popularity, after the publication of her debut book “Milk and Honey” (2014), which went on to sell over 2.5 million copies worldwide and spent more than a year on The New York Times Best Seller list. In 2017, Kaur released her second book, “The Sun and Her Flowers”, leading her to be named on the BBC's 100 Women in 2017. Her work explores relationships, the immigrant experience, and sexual trauma and is considered to be at the forefront of Instapoetry. (Wikipedia)

Each painting in this 40-day collection, Skies The Limit, is named after a famous female writer or poet who has taught me an important lesson or challenged my philosophy on life. This list includes women like Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emily, Maya, Mary, Jane, Danielle, and Sylvia whose last names are unnecessary.

I'm drawn to skies for many reasons. While growing up, my sisters and I would stare at the clouds and watch animals and faces appear as they floated by. My parents always had us outdoors and showed us how to take time to pause and notice the sunsets or sunrises. Skies depict emotions and moods. You can have a very dark stormy sky (my favorite) or a bright blue billowy, cloudy sky. I love them all and I hope you do, too. Or, at least start to take notice of Mother Nature's beauty.
