This painting was inspired by a dream, which combined a love relationship and the presence of a snake. The snake, in many cultures, represents the primal energy of transformation as well as signifying the autonomic nervous system (the unconscious). The woman in the picture represents the instinctual feminine energies and the water, the unconscious. The hawk is the symbol of awakening of the soul’s purpose.
The message: It is through a commitment to a relationship with the potent rhythms of nature as well as her body, that a woman’s true calling are revealed. Vision, creativity and love, all expressions of the Divine Feminine, are gifts that the feminine consciousness brings to the world.
