My hope is that this painting "Self Love", becomes a gentle reminder of your worth and your innate beauty — just as you are. May she hang in your space like a soft whisper from your soul, inviting you to return to yourself, to slow down, and to remember the sacredness of your own presence. Let her be your mirror and muse — a reflection of tenderness, quiet strength, and the flourishing that comes from choosing self-love, moment by moment.
My intention for creating this painting
“Self Love” piece was born from a deep desire to honour the journey of coming home to oneself. I wanted to capture the energy of renewal, grace, and feminine strength that arises when we stop looking outside for validation and instead bloom from within. Surrounded by symbols of nature’s wisdom — butterflies, wildflowers, and soft light — she embodies the gentle courage it takes to nurture your own heart. She stands rooted in her truth, with eyes wide open and heart quietly radiant.
What this painting evokes for me personally, on reflection
When I sit with this painting now, I feel a quiet kind of power. The kind that doesn’t need to prove anything. I’m reminded of the many seasons in my own life when self-love felt distant — and how healing began when I chose to pause, soften, and listen within. Her expression holds a knowing… the kind that arrives when we choose ourselves. Creating her helped me reflect on how self-love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a practice, a reclaiming, a return.
A soul connection prompt for YOU to explore
What does self-love look like for you in this season of your life?
Let this artwork invite you into reflection. You might write, paint, or simply sit in stillness and ask: What parts of me are yearning to be seen, held, and celebrated right now? Let the imagery speak to your own inner garden — the parts waiting to bloom when given a little light.
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.
