What happens when love feels like it has travelled across lifetimes? This painting is my answer. Journey with me through the process of creating In Every Universe, You — where brushstrokes become devotions, and symbols become portals to the infinite.
There are paintings that come from imagination, and there are paintings that come from the soul. In Every Universe, You is one of those.
This artwork began not only with brushstrokes but with a meeting — on a dance floor during a Zouk class. A sparkle in his eye caught mine. Words were few, but something stirred. Soon after, synchronicities began to weave their way into our story. It became clear this was more than chance — it was connection, it was flow, it was love that felt eternal.
On the canvas, I sought to honour that story: the way we move together like water, the way we are held by something larger, the way we feel connected beyond this realm.
Watch the Process Unfold
Your Symbols, Your Stories
When I paint, I work with symbols — images that carry emotion and meaning for me. But I also know that every soul has its own language of symbols.
What are the images, shapes, or elements that touch you most deeply?
-
Is it an animal you’ve always felt connected to?
-
A flower that reminds you of resilience or beauty?
-
A landscape that feels like home to your spirit?
The beauty of symbolic art is that it doesn’t just speak the artist’s story — it awakens the viewer’s inner story too. My invitation is for you to notice what symbols move you, and how they weave into your own journey.

A Love Letter in Paint
Every brushstroke in this piece is an act of devotion. It tells a story of meeting, flowing, trusting, and surrendering to love’s unfolding journey.
I believe art carries energy, and my hope is that In Every Universe, You radiates the same love and light that inspired it — while also inviting you to explore the symbols that live within your own heart.

An Invitation to You
As you watch this painting unfold, I invite you to pause and reflect:
✨ What symbols speak most strongly to you?
✨ What images, shapes, or elements feel like part of your soul’s language?
✨ If you were to paint your own story, what symbols would you choose to carry it?
You might like to journal your reflections, sketch them, or simply hold them quietly in your heart. Symbols have a way of showing us what words sometimes cannot — they are devotions from the soul.
