Love
Mixed Media on Canvas | 48in x 36in

This piece is all about layers—both seen and unseen—mirroring the psychology of metamorphosis. True growth is a process of intention and surrender. Like the caterpillar, transformation begins with a vision, a knowing of what’s to come, only to be released in trust. In the chrysalis stage, the caterpillar dissolves into a primordial state, surrendering completely before emerging as something new. This moment of sweet surrender is where the magic happens—where the unseen forces of nature weave the next phase into existence.

One of the foundational layers in this mixed-media dance was gluing collected receipts and parking passes—fragments of everyday moments now woven into something greater. A whitewashed layer softened their presence, creating a clean slate for the next phase. Stenciling the butterflies was a mindful process, requiring focus and precision to keep the squares aligned. I centered myself in my breath, allowing a deep flow state to guide my hands. After that, I stepped away, giving the piece space to breathe. In those days of rest, new perspectives emerged, highlighting what was meant to come next.

This is when the reds and pinks entered—a decision rooted in the affirmation I originally set: There is no problem too big or too small that cannot be solved with love. These colors felt both activating and grounding, softening the black and neutralizing the white, creating balance.

Whenever I go through challenging times, I affirm these words out loud or in my head, anchoring myself in their truth. This piece currently resides in my studio, and each morning, as I sip my coffee and journal, it serves as a quiet yet powerful reminder—to trust, to surrender, and to never give up.

Now, it’s ready to continue its journey, finding a home where it can bless the space with its presence. Let it hold space for you, anchoring your rituals, dreams, and intentions. Whether it greets you in the morning light or whispers reassurance in the stillness of the night, let Love be a reflection of your own unfolding metamorphosis.

Love is seeking its keeper…
