In the quiet of twilight, the world took its first, deep, breath.
These paintings are colour keys for an overarching narrative about returning to the regenerative garden of self, and the creation of my hidden world. This is where life feels possible, beautiful, and chaotic all at the same time.
Follow that Star, the first painting in the series documents Luna’s descent into the Garden of Eden.
My work is about being wildly authentic to yourself. When you have the courage to follow your heart, you will not only change the perspective of the sun in your garden, but also for the ecosystem of everyone around you.
The Anima, the fourth painting in the series, visually representing the mind going through the subconscious process of change.
There is a location you visit when you’re navigating the shadows of your mind, consciously or subconsciously. It’s your own personal underworld, or as I like to call it, The Night Shade. To reach this place, you must descend into your heart, into the lower realms of your psyche.
Sometimes you need to crash out, in order to pop out.
Getting out of your own way is the hardest part. If you wish to make space for positive outcomes, you must burn all the illusions of the mind. When the old narratives pass on, your inner garden will thank you.
The Island of Wonder, the fifth painting in the series, in which Luna and her friend goddesses descend to the Island of Wonder with hopes to bloom in the Garden of Eden.
Close up of The Portal, painting based on the likeness of well-known dancer and pole instructor AshleyMPK. The Portal is a physical mirror, and interpreted as the portal to the Nightshade.
The Breath of Fire, seventh painting in the series. The flowers burst into flames as the garden blooms into spring.
I’ve discovered that when you move from your own inner authority with complete self-trust, life tends to line things up for your highest good, in absolute divine timing. This timing cannot be calculated, only received, from the authenticity of your heart.
To begin this process, you should start by planting your pussy roots. It’s the act of grounding yourself into the present moment. By returning to your centre, you connect into your root chakra, aka your pussy roots.
Divine Timing, the sixth painting in the series. A beautiful goddess shot out from the sky, bringing a new Wonder and Awe to the world.
To bloom where you are planted is a radical act of being. When people try to dim the magic of the earth, you must be the one to speak it, voicing real change in the world.
The stories I paint capture the divine ending of an era, and the beginning of something beautiful.
Luna Blooming where she is Planted, in the garden of her dreams.
