"Our Lady of the Healing Dream" Print

My Southern Italian ancestors cultivated a rich and deeply magical culture of Dream Incubation. They believed that all healing depended on engaging the soul and attending to its messages delivered through dreams. This is Our Lady of the Healing Dream. She wears a headdress of blue lotus flowers and holds poppy flowers and seeds in her arms, both herbs long appreciated for their ability to inspire dreaming. A crescent moon adorns her third eye and she is surrounded by stars. Her eyes are closed to signify her inward vision. She is serene and contained, yet in touch with infinity.

"I use vibrant color (often sourced from minerals and botanical sources gathered at sites I visit and the essence of which I want to depict), line, symbol, image, rhythm and word, to expand consciousness, share ideas, enhance connection, push boundaries, question limitations, accentuate the luminous, initiate healing and express my wild heart, soul and spirituality. My work is informed by the natural world around me - the plants, trees, mountains, waters, wild animals, bird song and all the textures, sounds and aromas of the living Earth expressing herself.  I draw inspiration for my work from the deep well of the Divine Feminine, as well as from Old World myths, sacred stories, poetry, art and culture."
