THE HEART OF A LOTUS
Inner Radiance. 36 x 48” Oil On Linen. 2025. The calm that holds you steady when the world becomes loud, the self-knowing that doesn’t beg for validation. It is not performative. It’s quiet, powerful, and rooted. It a state of being, a return to essence. It’s when your light is no longer dependent on external factors, but flows naturally from alignment with your truth. It comes from sitting in shadows alone, from choosing truth over fear. It rises from wounds made sacred, from every quiet, unspoken tear. Inner radiance asks for no witness. It just simply is, and always will be. A soft, unwavering presence of power, a return to the truth. Inner Radiance.
BLOOM. 36 x 48” Oil On Linen. 2023. In a world brimming with possibilities, the idea of blooming resounds deeply within us all. Like delicate lotus flowers blooming through dark muddy waters, we too have the potential to unfold and reveal the stunning radiance within. Blooming signifies growth, transformation, and the blossoming of our true potential. It is a journey that requires nurturing, perseverance, and self-discovery. To truly lengthen our bloom and embrace our fullest potential, we must first acknowledge that life's beauty lies in embracing change. Just as flowers adapt to the seasons, we too must embrace the ebb and flow of life's challenges and triumphs. It is through these experiences that we nurture resilience, harness our strengths, and learn valuable lessons that allow us to flourish. Nurturing our bloom involves tending to our mind, body, and soul. The mind, the fertile soil from which our dreams take root, requires constant nourishment. By engaging in lifelong learning, seeking knowledge, and exposing ourselves to diverse perspectives, our minds expand and evolve, enriching our ability to connect, create, and innovate. Similarly, tending to our bodies is essential for our bloom to thrive. Just as flowers need sunlight, water, and nutrients, our bodies require care, nourishment, and movement. Throughout our lives, we encounter countless opportunities to nurture our bloom and extend our reach. We must not shy away from these moments but rather embrace them as stepping stones toward realizing our full potential. By venturing into the unknown, pushing beyond our comfort zones, and daring to dream.
