Women are being called, called to Rise and Step back in, in
order to bring Healing to the world. For far too long women have been oppressed
and treated “less than”, unequally and unfairly, placed inside a box of
restrictions with a “dumbing down” of their capabilities. While the world has
been controlled by greed and power, women have been inundated with the
distraction that we are weak and broken emotional creatures. We have been
filled on a daily basis, being taught that we are not good enough, and that we
need to look a certain way in order to be acceptable “prizes”. Along the way
many of us have forgotten who we are as strong empowered beings capable of
creating life and healing our surroundings.
Our world is going through a period of intense
vulnerability. Since the crumbling of the economy a few years ago, that shook
people to their very core, humanity has been operating in fear mode. With the
loss of money, homes and jobs, people have been living with a lessened sense of
security. It is as if we are in a state of grieving, consciously and
unconsciously. This has heightened the “dog eat dog” mentality. Coupled with
the even larger division of societal classes, the world is rampant with anger
and sadness. We are forgetting how to talk to one another, how to have
compassion for one another, and the value of human connectedness.
At the same time our Mother Earth is grieving, while we
ravage her resources and force her to try and adapt. Those of us that are
empathic can almost feel her sobs, and hope that there are enough of us that
hold her in a high enough regard to help her heal. We have to strive to treat
her better than we are treating one another, if we care about our children’s
potential lives.
Women are being called to step in and bring Healing and
Awareness- to remind people of the things that are truly supposed to matter at
the end of the day - to help heal our fellow brothers and sisters, and to bring
back a balance in humanity. We have been being tested, and sometimes harshly,
in order to force us to see what is happening. Having to live it provides us
with answers, if we are listening.
I painted “She Heals” as a reminder of what was, what is,
and what could be.
“She Heals” is an original painting done in an art nouveau
style, on an 11 inch x 14 inch canvas. Using acrylics, the colors chosen were
meant to bring a warm and healing feel. It has a balance of earthy yet feminine
qualities, bringing together beige, terracotta, and forest green, accents with
shades of purple, mauve, blues, and turquoise. The Goddess, Gaia, stands in the
middle of the Circle of Life, resembling a mandala. She holds in her palm a
lotus flower of healing. Blooming flowers and vibrant vines surround her,
amidst the serene mountain backdrop.
The painting is signed on the front, signed and titled on
the back, and sealed with a satin finish to protect and enhance the painting.
The sides of the canvas were painted to give it a clean contemporary
appeal. Gallery wire is installed on the
back for ease is wall hanging.
