Awakening Halo - 20x20 Mixed Media Oil Painting
"Awakening Halo" is a 20 x 20 inch original mixed media oil painting that embodies the moment of personal revival and clarity—that profound instant when everything finally makes sense. This luminous square canvas speaks to women who have emerged from darkness, confusion, or self-doubt into the radiant light of self-knowledge and purpose.
The Moment Everything Shifts
This work captures the essence of self-discovery encircled by the warmth of enlightenment. The golden halo surrounding the figure signifies wisdom earned through experience, resilience cultivated through challenge, and the new dawn of understanding that comes after we've done the hard work of transformation. This is not innocence but illumination—the kind of clarity that can only be achieved by walking through fire and choosing to rise.
Where Past and Future Converge
The interplay of vibrant florals in coral, pink, gold, and cream represents the blossoming of one's true potential when we finally align with our authentic purpose. Each bloom symbolizes a truth uncovered, a limiting belief released, a piece of yourself reclaimed. "Awakening Halo" is a visual representation of the transformative power of awakening, where the lessons of the past and the possibilities of the future converge into a present filled with purpose, insight, and hard-won peace.
Luminous Layers of Meaning
Created using my signature mixed media technique, this painting combines collage, graphite, acrylic washes, and luminous oil paint to create depth that draws you in. The halo effect is achieved through careful layering and glazing, creating an ethereal glow that shifts with changing light throughout the day. The texture invites you to look closer, to discover the layers beneath the surface—just as self-discovery requires us to look beyond the obvious.
A Celebration of Hard-Won Wisdom
"Awakening Halo" honors the woman who has done the inner work—who has questioned, struggled, grieved, and ultimately chosen to step into her power. This painting celebrates the sacred moment when you realize you are not broken but breaking open, not lost but finally finding your way home to yourself. It's for the woman who has earned her halo not through perfection but through persistence, courage, and unwavering commitment to her own becoming.
Perfect for meditation spaces, bedrooms, therapy offices, or any sanctuary where you honor your journey and celebrate your growth. This piece serves as a daily reminder that you are your own source of light, wisdom, and transformation.
