Breathing into the Moon, Series I, #31
2023
Pencil, acrylic, watercolor on Bhutan Mitsumata Rice paper
10.5 x 10.5 inches

The Breathing into the Moon paintings evolve as I hold the moon in mind while meditating at night, in daylight while the moon is high above, and on its many transitions—rising and setting, waxing and waning, as it moves across the sky. The moon offers connections to the history of existence on Earth, to the universe, to cycles of time associated with the feminine, and to a view of nature that expands beyond our experiences of Earth’s surface.
