Stability
8x10 acrylic on canvas board, 4 framed pieces. As an artist who teaches trauma-informed spirituality, I've learned firsthand that art doesn't wait for your life to calm down before it starts healing you.
Created during a season of turmoil, strive and instability, this piece brought me comfort and nervous system calm as I created it and as I gazed at it afterward.
What does it do for you?
The Story
I sometimes feel like there are two halves of my life which grate against each other. Inside is peace and contentment, the daily soothing embrace of infinite love. Outside is my unruly, chaotic, stressful maybe even dangerous ambition.
Far outside my typical style, this has been lodged in my heart for a while. The process was calm and carefree. And the result was something I am almost grieved to part with. A focal point for meditation. “Stability” is the perfect title.
