I invite you to connect with this painting however you feel it speaks to you. The meaning behind why it resonates with you may differ from the meaning it holds for me. I would love to know your experience that led to you feeling drawn to this painting.
"Not Saying Goodbye" was created during the month following my youngest daughter's passing. She passed unexpectedly, and it left my world in chaos and my heart shattered into a million pieces. The grief was overwhelming and all-consuming for the days immediately following her transition. I lost my passion for painting, until one afternoon, when I was searching for something that could connect me to her. I had taught her to draw, and for us both, art was therapy. It was a way to work through emotions that felt too heavy. I have been intuitively painting what I feel as I wonder where she is, what it looks like, what she is doing. As a mother, my heart has a piece that will forever be lost, but I will never say goodbye. I believe she is with me every day. Each painting in this collection holds a place that is eternal and beautiful, beyond our human imaginations. I believe my hands are intuitively guided by my daughter's as I create the painting in this collection.
To all those who have had their life forever changed by the passing of someone dear to them, I hope this painting brings you a sense of hope, joy and peace, and a knowing that your loved one is not lost, only reborn into a space of perfect love. They hear you, they are with you, and the connection you shared cannot be destroyed. I hope that through my grieving mom heart, opening my intuition and right brain to be guided by energy beyond this world, that I can bring other bereaved parents and families messages of love from the Other Side. All my love to you.

I believe my hands are intuitively guided by my daughter's as I create the paintings in this collection. There are so many things we just don’t know, yet there are also many people who have shared experiences that offer us a glimpse into what might be on the other side. I don’t know the answers, of course, but I am trusting what I feel in my heart. I have found my curiosity compels me to continue allowing my intuition and feelings to guide my creative process as I add to this collection.

I am donating 10% of the proceeds of “The Journey” collection to Helping Parents Heal, a non-profit group assisting bereaved parents and siblings. If you have a child or sibling in spirit, there are so many resources available through this organization, I encourage you to take a look. It has been profoundly healing in my experience.
