Tender, powerful, and deeply nurturing, this original painting honors Yemayá, and it is modeled after the artist´s own mother who passed away the year before. Yemaya is the revered Orisha of the ocean, motherhood, protection, and unconditional love. Standing at the water's edge as gentle waves embrace the shore, Yemayá helps a small child walk on the shoreline, embodying the boundless compassion and strength of the Divine Mother.
Painting
Ecofeminist paintings of the unseen threads between consciousness and Earth.
My work moves between two interwoven themes: the spiritual exploration of human existence through a mythical lens, and an ecofeminist, socio-political response to the environmental and systemic violence shaping our world today. My ongoing Goddess Portrait series is rooted in archetype and different goddess mythologies around the world where I seek to reveal the hidden layers of identity, resilience, and consciousness, elevating real women into divine portals of divine power manifested in human form. These works honor the sacred within the mundane, bridging personal history with collective memory through ancient symbolic language. Parallel to this, my practice also confronts the trauma inherent in our current ecological and social systems. In these other works, I tend to use discarded materials, found objects, and fragmented imagery in order to address the pressures of capitalism, environmental degradation experienced by different communities and the emotional and spiritual costs of a world which is out of balance. My practice rejects the confinement of a singular style or market-based expectation. Together, these two strands of artistic exploration form a single inquiry: how do we thrive, transmute, and create meaning in the midst of our perpetually changing world? I seek to give voice to my curiosity, my intuition, and my sense of adventure—honoring art as a living, evolving dialogue between self, society, and the unseen forces that shape us all.
