Golden Warmth
꩜ Inspired by… autumnal colors, the cyclical turning of the wheel, nature’s spiraling seasons of life, and the descending sun illuminating the glimmer of the ocean’s rippling blues. This year more than any other, I savored the transition of summer’s last fruit on orchard trees to their rich tapestry of autumn leaves… a gift of golden warmth to carry through the winter months.
This mandala is unsymmetrical and imperfect, an organic unfolding from the center point… yet whole and complete by design, wildly intricate and interconnected — an ode of love to our shared humanity.

Muse of Imagination
It all begins with an idea.
6 x 3 ft. Oil and acrylic on canvas, 2022
(Click to Enlarge)
I am imagined by the Earth
as an extension of the Sea;
imagined into an elemental being
by the rising moon
& mountain majesty. ☾
Outer eyes close
for inner eye to open
to regeneration within
I am a bejeweled, winged lotus flower
of transformation.
Emerging from a slumber of separation
into remembrance:
I am an ensouled expression of the Universe here to embody interdependence. ∞
Woven with water fabric
my heart holds an essential key:
to center within the sacred spirals
of thriving life
& reciprocity.
Envisioned into being by Earth’s loving emanation,
I am her Muse
of Imagination.
Clarity
It all begins with an idea.
18 x 24” Oil on Wood, 2022
Miraculous microcosm
Zooming in to see
Details of nature’s beauty
Create a wellspring of clarity
Body of water
Abundantly clear
Unfurling & flowing
:: petal by petal ::
from her rose heart center,
the answers are here.
Hummingbird feathers
Glowing with light
Pearls of wisdom
:: mini, radiant moons ::
Adorning true sight.
Rooting with mountains
soul rising
as ancient sun
she paints & sings prayers
for clarity
& illumination.
(( Portrait of Caren Chroma for the Visionary Muses Collective))
Beloved Reflection
It all begins with an idea.
40”x40” Acrylic on Canvas, 2018
The beauty you see
through the eyes of a beloved
is a crystalline reflection
of your wholeness
& the wellspring of love you behold.
You are the beloved
I am the beloved
We are the beloved ones
~ birthing from the darkness of the cocoon,
from the seeds of grief,
from the sacred wounds ~
On the journey together
as beloved reflections
and sacred mirrors
Guided by jaguar medicine
winged ones
lotus flower
& the light
of full Moon ::
Divine Mother
30”x40” Oil on Canvas, 2018
The Earth’s organic beauty and elemental wisdom merges as one with the feminine.
She is the embodiment of Earth, and this painting is a prayer for our home, our Mother, the source of creation
••• for all women and mothers through the arch of time and space •••
for the honoring of our ancestors and those who are yet to become the carriers and keepers of life.
Winged One
Forest, meadows, ocean and setting sun
Embraced by a thousand feathers
Of embodied wind, song and magic
~~~ Gratitude for the Winged One ~~~
Resilencia
It all begins with an idea.
A visual ode to Frida Kahlo, who carried a powerful key to transmute pain through Art
••• adorning her body as an extension of canvas with bright, bold beauty •••
and living her life as an expression of love for the more-than-human world.
She planted and tended a floral garden of archetypal feminine strength that has rippled through generations.
This painting is an offering to her legacy as a collective ancestor,
and to the creative spirit shining through us all.

Harmony
"From the center
life unfurls.
Once a seed
engulfed by fertile darkness,
Nature’s cyclical law
guides the promise of growth
~ a steady, gentle growth ~
adorned by oceans and sunlight
fractaling outward
as an emanation of Harmony.
Harmony ↠↠↠ remembered through turmoil
Calm waters ↠↠↠ follow waves of chaos
Trust ↠↠↠ returns after tides of confusion
Joy ↠↠↠ embodied through knowing pain and grief
as an ally of the human experience.
All is welcome here
for this is the paradoxical dance
we signed up for
as ever-evolving students on the path
of perpetual learning and impermanence.
Each fractal of the soul's journey
are essential facets of the Whole
creating co-existing truths
within the grand mandala of life."
