Collection: The Flow of Nature
 
"I Promise" is inspired by my new collection of paintings called The Flow of Nature. This painting of two sea turtles, a mother and baby, exploring a vibrant world just beneath the surface of the water. The title "I Promise"  is meant to share the experience of entering motherhood, making a promise to yourself that you will do everything you can to ensure the darker parts of your childhood do not repeat in this new cycle of life. The sea turtle shell represents protection. You want to protect and show your child that there is still beauty in this world, but knowing you cannot shield them from everything. Your awareness of this is powerful, but it's also important to be patient with yourself. You have experienced so much in life, as if you have lived multiple lifetimes of hardship, transformations and healing deep wounds. This painting is a reminder, just like the ocean, your emotions are powerful and your spirit is strong.
 
"I promise I will trust myself."
 
I've been really inspired to paint the movement of the wind and water, using techniques layered with small dashes of color, referencing the paint strokes flowing in circular motions like Van Gogh's Starry Night.
