Floating Painting “Shed”

My vibrant frame-less Floating Paintings are mixed media (acrylic, dye and paint on silk fabric). When I started the series in 2001, my vision was to travel the world in conjunction with other transformational speakers, groups or events. The vision was to shift the community space from traditional convention, sanctuary or seminar rooms, to celebratory places of transformation. The art creating doorways of beauty. Portals that stop the mind and open the heart to abide in peace and love-the true self.

This painting “Shed”, honors the process of change. It maps the subtle process of letting go of the past. To emerge and shed our old cocoon skins of conditioning-these “womb-like” containers once necessary for our survival, now “prisons” for our freedom.

The brown on the bottom of the paintings represents the power of the earth. Green-the organic living world. Red-human feelings that arise in the process of letting go of our attachments. Blue-the sky of all possibilities. Finally at top is the golden light of higher consciousness. In the whole journey of the shedding process the figure is connected to love, the golden paint within their center. Love always empowers the journey of release.

At the top of the figure is a bird-like image that represents the transcendent force of the unseen, which is often called spirit.

The “love that lives all things”.
