Tend to The Garden of Your Mind

Watercolor on cradleboard

53" x 27"

Watercolor mounted onto 1 1/2-inch cradleboard and archival cold wax. Framed with custom built black wood float frame.

Tend to The Garden of Your Mind was inspired by the Buddhist teaching of Right Speech. At first glance, the figure appears to be enveloped by the huge creature, yet she is in control as she holds its head in a symbol of defiance and strength. The arch of branches surrounding the painting evokes childhood fairytale forests with the promise of something soothing and safe beyond. Tend to The Garden of Your Mind is from the series, Untangling Our Roots, which explores the evolution from childhood beliefs and cultural influences to developing
a unique path and voice as an adult. Each painting in the series addresses a different universal struggle and is infused with a solitary figure, enigmatic nature as a healing and guiding force, and/or spiritual and cultural symbolism. This series strives to embody mystery, beauty, exploration, and discovery.
