Pink cloud

 

These works are inspired by two photographs my dad took. One of my grandpa, and one of my mom and grandpa. These pictures were taken just weeks before his passing. Later in life, my mom discovered that he was her real father, adding another layer of meaning. The four-leaf clover in the paintings, honors both of her dads, the one she grew up with and the one she later found. 

Last month, themes around the heart have been on my mind and energy. In conversations with, a.o. my mom and an ancestral worker I met at my workshops. I feel that womanhood carries matters of the heart, and I feel called to nurture and heal this space within myself. These paintings are part of this journey. Moving from the heart rather than the mind or ego.
