It took me 4 days to give The Graceful Nature Collection her official name - you should see my pages and pages of notes! I anticipate 12+ paintings in this collection, to release this Summer. Stay tuned. You can watch a video of the start of this collection.
The Graceful Nature Collection
In consideration of our own nature, do we arch toward exuberance, or do we remain composed? Do we seek calm to practice inner work, or keep ourselves busy? Are we standing tall, and do we bend tenderly with the winds?
Are we open to the company of allies, whether living, envisioned, or from the past, who can offer us perspective and insight?
Driven by my personal inclination to create, weaving color with stories, I have visualized and infused with feeling these graceful painted companions for us. Through their individual stories we discover they are not flawless in spirit; as they are reflections of our own imperfections, resilience and continued significance. But they remain fluid, with open hearts.
Having trekked fields and forests,
you are now here, holding one resource
that deserves dearest protection:
time to live.
Be uplifted, stumble, seek allies and inspiration. With spirits bold, eyes clear, and regular self-reflection, we can use this precious living time to honor our nature, strengthen our resilience, connect, and share gifts of grace from our essence.
