This was live-painted at an event. I wanted to give people a feeling of having an endless resource within themselves. Water is an element that I have always felt so intertwined with. I learn so much about Life from the element of Water.

Living Water

This is the **_Tree of Life_.** I’ve been growing like a tree over the past year and a half that it took to paint this piece. I grew in stillness and in pure authenticity. I watered my roots - the foundation to my connection with Source. I took care of my branches - the ideas, thoughts, feelings, words, actions, choices and decisions that I created with intention.. Because of this care, I know that my branches will produce the fruit that I have been growing towards.

The dove represents the presence of the Divine.. the mermaid tail represents that which is hidden. The gold represents the love and respect that I have for the paths I have taken and will take.

Tree of Life

Hummingbirds are precious and universal symbols of Joy. During a time of emotional hardship, I took daily walks with my dog, Coco. On one of these walks, we came across a tiny dead hummingbird. It stayed on my mind and heart for the next few days. I eventually realized in a moment of epiphany that the dead hummingbird was a message from beyond, and symbol of my own Joy that had "died". It was time to rebirth my joy, and I did so through the creation process of this painting. That is why this painting is called, **_"Spirit of Joy"._**

Spirit of Joy

In the midst of destruction, the only answer is to turn to Love, and never lose Hope. I hope for a future where children can live in safety, refuge, and hope. All children deserve to be born into a world of love. This painting is a message of unity and hope. People may disagree on politics, and ideals.. but I hope we can all agree that children deserve to be loved and feel safe in this world.

Love is the Answer

Charcoal Portrait Study

This painting was live-painted at an event. I felt like the people there at the event needed to be reminded of the feeling of Hope. The dove has always represented Hope from the divine. This painting is a visual reminder of treating every day like a beautiful gift. Each day is a new day to experience the goodness of Life and miracles that await us.

It's a New Day

This painting was live-painted at an event. I was feeling an overwhelming sense of Joy that day wanted to symbolize and memorialize that emotion as a hummingbird in flight. Yellow was also chosen for the same reason. I've always resonated with Van Gogh's sentiments about the color Yellow, and how it represents the goodness of life and humanity.

Rejoice

This is a spiritual self portrait of the moment of my own Rebirth. Looking ahead, blooming into myself, and guided by a crown of wisdom and knowledge.. Surrounded by butterflies that symbolize this moment of metamorphosis, I am unafraid to become who I am meant to be.

Rebirth

Even when it rains and pours.. a woman's inner beauty will always bloom. She is an eternal bloom.

I Bloom in Every Season

**_”Timelines”_** is a moment in timeless presence and reflection. A moment that is shared between all of my selves.. all the different versions of me, in every Timeline that I’ve ventured through & will continue to explore. Through all the Timelines and versions of Me, the one thing in my life that has forever been a constant - is Change, symbolized as a butterfly. Sometimes I react to uncomfortable growth with a lot of resistance, or shock. Sometimes I’m happily frolicking through it. Other times, I’m just observing it with peace. Through it all, Change, Death, Rebirth - is a part of life, and you can choose the version of yourself you want to be in order to integrate such energies when they arise.
