May this painting, "Intention", serve as a calming yet powerful reminder to return to yourself — to pause, breathe, and align with what truly matters. May she become a soulful presence in your space, anchoring you in your own feminine strength and encouraging you to set your intentions with both love and clarity. Let her remind you that you don’t have to rush, fix, or prove — you can move forward with intention, grace, and inner wisdom.
My intention for creating this painting
"Intention" was created as a celebration of feminine power, presence, and inner knowing. I wanted to capture the rich complexity and beauty of women’s inner worlds — the way we carry so much, yet still bloom. The vibrant, busy florals on her dress represent that fullness — a life lived deeply, courageously, and in colour. The white dove, wings open and gently perched, is a symbolic nod to choosing peace and love as a foundation for your future intentions. And the flowering branch she carries close to her heart is a quiet message: you can gather the lessons and wisdom of your past and present, and bring them with you — gently and intentionally — as you shape what comes next.
What this painting evokes for me personally, on reflection
This piece speaks to the quiet but undeniable power of intentional living. She reminds me that we can choose our next steps not from pressure or fear, but from a place of grounded presence. Her soft gaze and strong posture feel like an inner knowing I’ve had to return to many times — the part of me that trusts herself deeply. Creating her helped me explore the idea that peace and purpose aren’t opposites — in fact, they grow best together. It’s a piece about embodiment, sovereignty, and a heart-led life.
A soul connection prompt for YOU to explore
What does it mean for you to set intentions from a place of peace and wisdom not pressure or obligation?
Let her presence be a companion as you clarify what truly matters — and set your path with heart.
I created this painting using Matisse Flow. Acrylic paints on Claybord, one thoughtful layer at a time. Finished in Liquitex Matte Satin Professional Varnish to protect from dust and UV.
Due to its low profile, this painting requires framing to be hung on your wall, and so I don't offer this painting unframed. I have 2 high-quality framing options listed. These are both stand-out options for framing this piece. However, if you love this painting and have your heart set on a particular colour or style frame, then please reach out, I am happy to accommodate special requests where I can for an agreed upon additional fee.
