1st Time for Everything

Local Art Club @ R House Wynwood 8/10/19

I’m a strong believer that everything always happens for a reason and that things you are passionate about are not random. One day, while bored at work; I started clicking on Facebook events which led me to the Local Art Club page. I put my information without knowing what to expect. I reached out to the page with inquiries to being part of their next event; without fully knowing what to expect or what to do.

I wasn’t initially selected to participate so I figured it’s in part because I don’t run social media pages just dedicated to my art and my work was not seen. Nonetheless, I waited a few weeks and there it was. An email inviting me to participate in their August 2019 event. Without question, I moved forward with it and prepared as best as I could.

Naturally, I was nervous yet excited. My friends and family passed by and showed me their love and support and I got to meet and network with other local creative individuals. This experience left me feeling inspired and motivated to keep doing what I’ve always loved and to let go of fears and negative self talk, keeping me from organically going with the flow of the universe. Cheers! To the first of many more good things to come!!!

Lakshmi

24 x 36 Acrylic on Canvas

Lakshmi is known as the Goddess of wealth, health, prosperity, both material and spiritual, light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage. She is also the embodiment of Shakti; feminine energy.

She brings good luck and protects from all kinds of misery and money related problems. She purifies, empowers, and uplifts.

Lotus Flower

48 X 36 Acrylic on Canvas
Beautifully triumphant; the Lotus Flower is regarded as a symbol of enlightenment across many spiritual traditions . The Lotus is noted for the wondrous way that it grows. Before it can blossom in the sun, it makes its way through muddy waters. In time, it submerges above the water and emerges beautiful and whole.

The Lotus also represents personal transformation. It offers hope that something beautiful can blossom out of suffering, that we too will eventually bloom . No matter where you are in your journey, let the lotus remind you to always trust in the unseen path that leads to the sun.
