30x"40", Mixed Media/ Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.
 
This dreamscape was born from the words of a journal entry—an intimate moment of longing, realization, and awareness. It tells the story of a woman, a mother, a friend, and a lover who has walked through the seasons of life and now stands at a threshold of transformation. Her home has grown quiet. The sounds of children’s laughter and running feet have faded, replaced by the distance of adult lives—grown daughters with families of their own, too busy for vacations, too occupied for phone calls. Yet behind the silence, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are moving, shaping her spirit for what comes next.
 
She looks back with tenderness on the memories of motherhood, cherishing them while also wishing she had spent less on material things and more on the priceless currency of time and experience. That longing is met with grace on this canvas, where her reflection becomes a sacred space of renewal.
 
Symbolism weaves throughout the piece:
Shadow Dancers is a meditation on time—how the shadows of our past are never wasted but dance with the light of the future. It is a reminder that even in seasons of solitude, God is still moving, transforming, and breathing new life.
 
Swallows soar across the scene, representing both the Holy Trinity and the guidance of faith carrying her forward.
Dragonflies emerge from the cosmos, unseen yet ever-present, symbols of transformation, adaptability, and the unseen hand of God working behind the veil.
In her hand, she holds a butterfly, a symbol of readiness and awareness, the beauty of new life taking flight.
Her feet rest in flowing water, a sign of cleansing, emotion, and the promise of new beginnings.
