This painting was a nine month meditation and painted prayer. At the time, support felt out of reach, and a mentor gently suggested I create a visual practice, imagining myself at the center and surrounding myself with support. As I painted, it became a way to ground, to center, and to call in what I needed most. Through layers of intention, this piece grew into a symbol of quiet resilience and trust. My hope is that it brings the same sense of comfort and support that emerged for me after its creation, and that when you gaze at it, you feel the same wonder and awe as looking up into a clear night sky.
