Held in the Arms of Peace

Sometimes peace feels like an embrace — a moment when we can finally stop holding ourselves up and allow ourselves to be held instead.

Held in the Arms of Peace, #6 in my Peace Collection, explores that kind of reassurance. A quiet sense of being supported. Surrounded. Gathered.

At the centre, an angel draws a woman into a luminous, comforting hug. There is movement in the painting, but also stillness — the kind that comes when effort softens and something deeper takes over.

This painting continues an ongoing conversation in my work about unseen support.

The figures echo an earlier painting from 2015, I’ve Got Your Back, but the energy here feels different. Less about encouragement to keep going. More about permission to rest for a moment inside something greater than ourselves.

Texture plays an important role in how this message is experienced.

Granular gel was layered into the stained-glass-like window frame, creating a sense of depth and sacred containment — as though we are looking through a living panel of light.

Glass beads were applied to the figures, catching and reflecting light in subtle ways that shift as the viewer moves.

The embrace itself begins to shimmer, reminding us that comfort is not always static. It can feel alive, responsive, present.

The vibrant colours surrounding the figures suggest that peace does not require life to become quiet or simple. It can exist right in the middle of intensity, colour, movement, and change. It does not remove us from experience — it holds us within it.

As this Peace Collection unfolds, each painting reveals a different facet of what peace can feel like. Some invite us to reach toward it. Others help us recognize it. This one offers the experience of being received and gently held within its light.

May it remind you that there are moments when strength is not about standing alone, but about allowing yourself to be carried.
