Planting Seeds of Peace

“Planting Seeds of Peace” (12″x 24″) – $1,111 CAD

There are moments in the creative process when something begins to move faster than you can name it.

This piece came through in that way.

For weeks, inspiration had been arriving in a steady, almost urgent flow—one painting leading into the next, each revealing itself just as I was finishing the last… or even before it. I wasn’t planning. I was following. And at times, I could barely keep up.

Planting Seeds of Peace became the final piece in that wave.

Not because it simply ended on its own—
but because I told Spirit I needed a break from painting.

And this piece completed that conversation.

At the heart of this work is a simple, living truth:

A seed becomes a pod.
The pod becomes a vessel.
The vessel becomes a life that learns to tend what it has been given.

And so it continues.

The figure sits within what once held her—a seed pod that is no longer just a beginning, but a sanctuary, a memory, a transformation. She is held, even as she holds.

Above her, the light—sun, source, Divine energy—radiates downward.
Below her, the roots extend into the unseen.

And surrounding her, the tree rises—not separate from her, but as the living expression of what grows when something small is nurtured, again and again.

This is the energy of peace as I’ve come to understand it.

Not something we arrive at.
But something we participate in.

Something we plant.
Something we tend.
Something that grows far beyond us.

This painting also marks a moment of integration.

After co-creating this painting with Spirit, I stepped out of that intense creative current and into a different kind of tending—returning to the parts of life that had been waiting patiently in the background: writing, tending to practical things like taxes, and simply catching up with the rhythm of daily life.

There is a season for receiving.
And there is a season for grounding what has been received.

This is that season.

With this piece, the eight seeds of peace have now been planted.

I’m not sharing them in the order they were created.

This one—though the last to be painted—was the next wanting to be revealed.

Because that is also part of the process…
learning to let go of sequence, and trust the timing of what wants to be seen.
