This work explores the themes of living with passion and honoring those who provide strength, love, and support throughout our journeys. Qualls considers herself incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful circle of friends who have supported both her creative endeavors and her professional path as a psychologist.

Living with Passion is a sincere expression of gratitude for those friends and for her husband, Doug, who remains her best friend and has supported her dreams from the beginning. Through the energetic verticality of the canvas, Qualls illustrates how a foundation of love allows one to reach upward and live a life of true purpose. It is a celebration of the "loving circle" that sustains us, ensuring that if today were the last, it was lived with a full heart.
