The Woman with Lotus Flowers is here to remind us to pause for a moment of deep thought—to seek peace over conflict and compassion over judgment.
We are free to think, to dream, to create. Our lives are shaped by our thoughts, decisions, and actions. What we choose to seek and what we accept in our lifetime define us. You are here to find yourself and decide what life should look like for you.
The past couple of years have been challenging for so many. I chose this piece as my final painting of 2021 because it embodies hope and uplifting energy. My hope is that when you look at this painting, you feel a connection to nature—one that grounds you, connects you to your deeper self, lifts your spirit, and reminds you to hold on to hope.
Lotus flowers are a phenomenon, growing even in places where the sun cannot reach. They emerge from the depths of darkness—beautiful, exquisite blossoms formed from the mud. This woman is surrounded by them.
If we recognise that goodness can come from darkness, we keep our minds open to possibilities, new opportunities, and hope. Life will be beautiful once again if we believe it can be.
Life is filled with both darkness and light. It can be challenging, yet effortless. The deep green spirals in this piece represent the gratitude found in witnessing nature’s organic growth—seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. The spiral is a universal symbol of life.
The white doves, each with their own character and story, are all flying upward, evoking a sense of peace and elevation.
Let’s welcome 2022 with a spirit of hope, compassion, and healing.
