La Benvinguda is Catalan for 'The Welcome', and it is for me, a piece to symbolize my acceptance of miscarrying twins last fall and my readiness to try again. 

 

I drew the quiet chaos of worries in the background, then the mother and an energy representation of her child, with a flower blooming as energy moves outward from her womb. She is at peace, ready for the new life!  

 

The wonderful thing is, about 2 weeks after I drew this, I found I was pregnant again! And so and La Benivinguda is a mother's welcome.

 

 

 

The Prayer is how I have always viewed prayer, meditation, or any spiritual work.  It is my depiction of energy movement in ritual. I usually see energy in greens, blues, and whites. So this is my letting it move around me as I meditate on it. I have to do this often because of my health and am encouraged by my doctors to do so. I painted this trying to show my husband what I saw and how it felt for me.

Sacred Space is a rough image of the energy moving around my own sacred space. I keep it over my 'space' so I can move more easily into my meditation. The stones represent the jewels we find while meditating: jewels of knowledge, inspiration, peace, and anything else we seek from Her.
