Where the Water
Carries Light
Freedom, flow, cleansing, courage. Waterfalls mean something different to each of us. These three paintings began with my own story of love and reconnection, but there is room here for yours too.

Before I began these paintings, I asked people what waterfalls meant to them. The answers were so different: freedom, flow, cleansing, power, the courage to take a different path. I loved that one image could hold so many meanings. What comes to mind for you?
For me, the water became connected to love, separation and the hope of finding each other again. These three paintings grew out of a long separation from someone deeply loved. When I began, I didn’t know how that story would unfold. I painted with the hope that reconnection might come with the fullness and force of a waterfall. Since then, it has. The journey has come full circle.

The First Light
of Knowing
This painting holds the dawning of possibility. For me, it belongs to that feeling of hope before you know how things will unfold. The pinks, lilacs and falling water might speak to a beginning of your own, or it may be the colours that make you want to stay and look a little longer.
The First Light of Knowing
All the Ways
Love Flows
This is the long journey. In meditation, I saw that time of separation as a river, carrying love through the years. As I painted, the water found its way through pathways and cascades. You might recognise something of your own journey here—the choices, the changes of direction, and what you have carried with you.

Letting the painting
find its own voice.
Music and meditation were part of the painting process. Hearing Deva Premal sing the Gayatri mantra moved me to tears. In a waterfall meditation, I imagined healing light pouring into the water, mingling with it until it glowed. That meeting of light and water became something I wanted to bring onto the canvas.
I experienced these paintings as a co-creation with the divine. I listened, painted and trusted what came through, even when it took a different direction from what others suggested. The colours, pathways and cascades emerged as I worked. I wanted to give each painting the space to find its own voice.
Where Love Returns
This painting holds the light at the end of the journey and the joy of coming full circle. What began as hope has become reconnection. For you, the glowing water, greens and golds may bring a feeling of renewal, a memory of someone you love, or simply the pleasure of colour and light in your home.

Three paintings, connected by water and light.
The dawning, the journey and the return—together, with room for your own story.
Paintings shown in proportion to their framed dimensions, using photographs of their actual oak frames, straightened for this view. Room is illustrative.
A place for the whole journey.
I would love to see these paintings find a home together. Each holds a different part of the journey, and their colours and flowing water connect them across the wall. Together in their natural oak frames, they invite you to pause, follow a pathway and notice something new. You may find freedom in them, or strength, or the feeling of beginning again. I would love for them to become part of your home and your story, in whatever way feels right to you.
