Winter Soulstice

Winter Soulstice celebrates my deep connection to nature and a tradition I practice during Winter Solstice. As our Earth has its seasonal shifts and transitions, I see solstices as our time to disconnect and reconnect to the things that matter most to us, especially energy, as we are all part of this greater energetic ecosystem. For me, this means taking the day to submerge myself into the ocean, which flows with one of the biggest energetic currents. As Earth shifts into the winter solstice, I see my soul on the brink of shifting and evolving into the new year. I take the time to honor what the universe has blessed me with over the years, and ground myself within the ocean in order to cleanse and prepare for what’s to come. In this painting, you see my emergence from water—rising up to the surface, simultaneously in an alternate world of above and below. My soul is one with the light, the same light that reflects on water and the same light that twinkles in the stars.
