Brief Considerations
Mother Gaia Green Goddess of Earth
An exploration of the primordial feminine through digital art and contemplative writing. This visual meditation presents Gaia in her multiple aspects,as sovereign of cultivation, as photosynthetic consciousness bridging heaven and earth, as the sacred union with Uranus, and as the original creator molding reality from pure potential. Each painting pairs with philosophical reflection on embodiment, manifestation, and the marriage of matter with consciousness.
The Cyclical Cosmic Gardeners
This narrative reimagines the Hindu Trimurti (Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Transformer) as internal psychological forces that operate within each individual. Through their philosophical dialogue, these three deities reveal how creation, preservation, and conscious release function as essential aspects of personal growth and spiritual development.
The piece explores creation as an act of remembering eternal forms, preservation as dynamic balance rather than static maintenance, and transformation through the wisdom of knowing when to let go. Rather than presenting these as distant cosmic principles, the narrative positions them as intimate, accessible forces that shape our daily experience of growth, stability, and change.
The Cosmic Gift Exchange
An original mythological tale of transformation where four ancient powers converge at the edge of creation to exchange gifts that will forever change their divine natures.
Mr. Quivers, The Blind Archer
A contemporary reimagining of Cupid that makes literal the ancient wisdom that love is blind. Through the collision of classical form and modern symbolism, this digital painting explores the paradoxes at the heart of desire: how love both empowers and renders us vulnerable, how it operates beyond reason yet transforms us toward wholeness.
The work draws from the mythological marriage of Eros and Psyche, where the god of love united with the soul itself after her descent through trials and darkness. By placing sunglasses on the deity and a cane in his hand, the painting asks us to reconsider what blindness means in the context of love. Perhaps what we cannot see clearly is precisely what we most need to experience.
This piece invites contemplation on the relationship between consciousness and desire, suggesting that the ancient archetypes still operate within us, that Cupid still shoots his arrows, and that the integration of soul and passion remains the central drama of human existence.
The Zen of Reverent Rabbit
In ancient Japan, a white rabbit named Shiromaru journeys from restless seeker to embodied sage, discovering that true wisdom resides not in scrolls but in reverent attention to life's ordinary moments.
This timeless tale reminds us that enlightenment comes not from extraordinary knowledge but through the humble recognition that each moment, fully honored, contains all the wisdom we seek.
The Caring Paws Collective
What if our favorite childhood toys were real and alive, and they grew up alongside us? How might they inspire us now as adults the way they once did as children?
This question led to an unexpected exploration: a collection of beloved toy characters reimagined as grown beings who carry forward the lessons they taught us in our youth. The Care Bears, transformed into the Caring Paws Collective, return not with simple messages painted on their bellies, but with deeper invitations to practice care as a skill we build, a choice we make daily, and a force that genuinely transforms our world.
Their childhood wisdom hasn’t disappeared. It has matured with us, waiting to be rediscovered through adult eyes.
What childhood companion might speak to you differently now? What simple truth did they offer that you’re finally ready to hear?
The Limited Hope Initiative
Taking an honest look at opposing views is one of the best ways to bypass hidden cognitive biases. This exercise can either expand your worldview in profound ways, or paradoxically strengthen your existing beliefs with greater humility and grace.
I decided to play devil's advocate with my own book series, "Growing Light," to see how well it stands up to scrutiny.
Will this exercise completely change my mind? Will I abandon my mission to help people improve their mental health, grow personally, and find greater satisfaction in daily life?
Let's find out together,
