'To Nourish' is one of the moths that found a home with a special new collector at the Seattle Art Fair last week 💛 Our encounter was a highlight of the fair for me and I am always thankful and amazed when I get to interact with the person I was unknowingly painting a piece for ✨
I keep painting moths because they have so much to teach me about impermanence and the unknown. They have a way of finding those in the midst of grief and change, and it's always a heart-opening privilege to witness someone else touched by their medicine. Speaking of heart opening, hawthorn berries are another newer muse that I've loved learning about while painting this collection.
A black hawthorn tree outside my studio was the initial spark of inspiration for this series. Hawthorn has been used for centuries by cultures across the globe as an antioxidant-rich heart tonic and digestive aid. ❤ In addition to the medicinal cardiovascular properties, it is also used for emotional heart healing, protective spells, and is said to be a gateway to other realms. As a visual symbol, the hawthorn berries are designed to awaken, expand, and invite you inside the home of your heart.
