This image was licensed from a personal project. I wanted to explore the splendor of the jewelry that would adorn a Mother Nature figure. I’m a huge fan of jewelry by Art Nouveau designer Rene Lalique and was inspired by his nature themes and the luminous quality captured in his colors.

As this piece neared completion I loved that the figure seemed to be glowing from within. I imagined her glow came from trusting her intuition and gathering strength from her inner peace. And like a moth to the flame, that inner peace attracts others to our goodness and joy. Which is why I was thrilled when Rosemary magazine licensed this piece for their homeschooling magazine, what a perfect message for parents trusting in their unique voice to educate their children.

My work is drawn digitally in Procreate. I start with a very rough sketch and refine as I add layers of color and textures to mimic traditional media.
