The Tree of Life and Becoming 16"
Now coated in shiny, durable resin varnish.
I have always been fascinated by tree imagery and creating trees in my art. In 2023 I created this, my first in what became the Trees of Life collection "The Tree of Life and Becoming." This detailed beauty comes to life with the ample application of genuine crystals, including clear quartz, amethyst, fluorite, aventurine, tigers eye, lapis lazuli and more. While painting this, I had a sense that painting this tree, at that moment, was exactly what I needed to be doing.
It earned its name (Becoming) by forging the path for this collection and because I was embracing myself/my truth and evolving as an artist and as a woman/mother/lover/daughter/friend/creator in my continued healing journey toward self-love, self-acceptance, spirituality, loving connection, and joyful abundance and fulfillment.
I wish for you a journey of becoming that is resonant, rewarding and connected in all the ways that you desire for this life.
Wonder how I made this? See my behind-the-scenes "making of" process reels for this painting on Instagram!
