Rabbit! Rabbit!
Rabbit! Rabbit!

 

Rabbit Moon is my last painting of 2025. It is a reworked version of a painting I started at the beginning of the year, and I thought it was an appropriate way to end an old cycle and begin a new one.


As I look back on 2025, I am grateful for the growth it brought - mostly in the form of accepting who I am instead of who I "should" be. Accepting where I am in my spiritual and physical journey. Learning to lean into my own truth and shedding the fear of disappointing others.


As this new year begins, I am celebrating the cycles of nature: darkness gives way to light, light gives way to darkness. Seeds incubate in the dark, then grow toward the light, bud, bloom and fade, to create a new seed and the cycle repeats.


As humans, I believe we are hard-wired to look for patterns and to attach meaning to the patterns. We try to get an intellectual lock on something that is vast and boundless, far more than the rational mind can grasp. We make up stories/myths that can help us understand what we can't comprehend but then become stuck in the myth instead of using it as a springboard to greater awareness.


My focus this year will be in expanding my awareness and continue on the path to greater connection and authenticity through my art. It is as much a spiritual journey as it is and artistic one. I am so grateful to have you walk with me on this part of my journey.

"White rabbits can symbolize spiritual rebirth and the shedding of old habits or emotional baggage. The white coat also speaks to the idea of adaptability to changing circumstances, reminding us to remain flexible and open to transformation when life's seasons change.


White rabbits are often associated with the moon, a symbol of intuition, mystery, and feminine energy. In some cultures, like Chinese mythology, rabbits live on the moon, crafting elixirs of immortality. Spotting a white rabbit might invite you to connect with your softer, intuitive side.


Like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, a white rabbit can symbolize a guide leading you into uncharted territory. It might appear when you're on the verge of a spiritual awakening or facing a leap of faith into the unknown."
