Putu Rose…
One thing we love about Advocate Brooke Reidt is the inspiration she finds through personal encounters, and how she pours that inspiration into her beautiful work.
The drawing up top was done by a young girl named Putu Rose, who created the piece for Brooke (her new close friend) when they met on Brooke’s travels to Bali…The lovely painting underneath was done in turn by Brooke for Putu! What a beautiful show of appreciation!
Putu is five years old and an aspiring fairy house architect…. we support the little Miss Rose, go after your dreams!
