TITLE: SHADOW WORK


ARTIST PROCESS & INSPIRATION

I originally started designing this piece for the Tempest Project, but chaos ensued (as will happen during Tempest years), and I found myself in the middle of the Shadow year.  Titled Shadow Work because this technique of introspection leads one to take a dive into the aspects of ourselves that cause us to respond to life in an unconscious way.  Shadow Work brings greater authenticity to our interactions by introducing a conscious element.  Wolf is symbolic of intuition, Dolphin is symbolic of harmony and generosity, Raven is symbolic of transformation and healing, Hummingbird is symbolic of joy and perseverance, Octopus is symbolic of adaptability and creativity, and Yellow Tang represents the unconscious of the higher self, feelings, and motives.  The portrait is of my daughter, symbolic of all that is good.
