“Glass Shields” Art Print

Jessica — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 03:06:02 +0000

The idea for this painting is based on a feeling I’ve held for a while, that I’m travelling through life inside a glass shield of my own making - invisible, and easily broken. It’s the illusion of protection that allows me to keep others at a distance while showing a fine face. When I relate to everyone around me as having their own versions of a glass shield, I find it easier to remember to be gentle.

Just Keep Swimming Art Print

These paintings are part of a series called “Everyday Saints.” To me, a Saint is someone who little by little, through their own small defiant actions, makes the world a better place.

In the midst of the daily societal shifts that are occurring, small accomplishments feel monumental, and nature is an irreplaceable solace. We are spending a significant amount of time outside of our Comfort Zones, individually and collectively. We are wending our way through life wrapped in our own shields of protection, while simultaneously attempting to heal as a global community. The ideas of being lost in the woods, trapped in a storm or on the edge of a precipice are often associated with negative emotions; however, in this instance I am representing the joy and lightness that comes from intentionally reconnecting with our roots.

These pieces represent the adventure available in embracing the unknown, putting one foot in front of the other, and continuing to move forward, which in my opinion is a very courageous endeavour.
