Moon Child is the final painting in the Child at Heart series, depicting the profound connection between nature and our inner core.
To see the world through the eyes of a child once more - to remember who we once were - offers us insight into how to move forward. Our inner core never truly changes; it simply becomes lost along the way.
Moon Child serves as a reminder of a child’s strong intuition, depth, and connection to a higher energy - the moon and the night sky.
Three turtles are purposefully placed in a downward-facing triangle around her. The triangle holds deep symbolic meaning across many cultures. Here, it represents feminine energy and an overflowing vessel of abundance. Turtles, a universal symbol of gratitude and appreciation, remind us that finding just one thing to be grateful for each day can build into a lifetime of happiness.
Without truly accepting ourselves, we can never fully step into our rightful place in the world—something that should feel so natural to us.
Do not search outside yourself for what you need; it is already within you. Believe in yourself.
Seven butterflies flutter around her, symbolising life’s ever-evolving and changing nature. They teach her to adapt to movement and transformation. There will be darkness, but then a break of stunning light and exquisite colour. Trust that process.

Above, the full moon rises, silhouetted by tea tree blossoms, granting her strength, insight, and the power to embrace all that life has to offer.
