About:
 
Three elongated gum leaves unfurl across the page — their forms tender yet grounded, their surfaces brushed with earthy greens, soft ochres, and rust-rose tones that shift subtly in the light.
 
Look a little longer, and the shimmer reveals itself: a quiet dusting of gold that catches the sun only when viewed from the right angle — like inner light, waiting to be seen.

This piece is a meditation on the gifts we hold within us — the ones that aren’t loud or forceful, but present nonetheless.
 
It speaks to the slow, sacred work of becoming visible. Of growing into the courage to be seen in our wholeness — with softness, with subtlety, and with soul.

Painted during a period of reflection on radiance, surrender, and the desire to give something meaningful to the world, this artwork carries a spirit of offering. A gesture of quiet beauty. A glimmer of what lives beneath the surface, waiting for the right light to reveal it.
