"In a way," Katie admitted. "I mean, the phoenix imagery was obvious with
the coffee shop name? But it really resonated with me, and after I painted
it, I realized that I had put in more references than I thought I had, to
people I know." That was the safest, non-insane way of describing what had
happened. "Like, for example," Katie's one non-weird example, "my favorite
barista and friend Andy makes this certain latte art, so I built that art's
motif into the phoenix feathers, in a certain place. But I also really
wanted it to represent the possibility of change and growth and how
starting over can be a blessing."
