Every so often, I do a mixed media!

Sanctuary of Living Threads At first glance, “Sanctuary of Living Threads” feels light and effortless—soft washes of blue and green, playful droplets, and delicate DNA-like strands drifting across the surface. It’s airy, almost musical, like a gentle breeze moving through an open window. But beneath that ease is a deeper current: the quiet, powerful truth that we carry our ancestors inside us. The repeating helix forms in this piece are more than just a nod to science; they’re a visual hymn to the stories written into our cells. They suggest the traits, patterns, and memories passed down through generations—the ways we are tied to those who came before us in both beauty and burden. Each strand echoes lineage, connection, and the unseen threads that link us to a much larger story. Yet this isn’t a painting about being trapped by your DNA. The soft, fluid color, the splashes and gentle shifts in tone, speak to something radical: our capacity to grow, to soften, to rewrite. Within this sanctuary, inheritance isn’t a sentence; it’s raw material. We can choose which patterns to continue and which to tenderly dissolve, healing not just ourselves, but the line behind us. “Sanctuary of Living Threads (Breezy Harmony)” is a place for that kind of work—the quiet, sacred labor of becoming. Hang it where you’re most aware of who you’ve come from and who you’re becoming: near a writing desk, in a therapy space, by a favorite reading chair. Let it remind you that you are both the culmination of many lives and the starting point of something new, held gently in the same breath.
