Soul Surfer
Soul Surfer
Story Behind The Art
An acrylic recreation of a college painting I made in 2011, Soul Surfer reflects the love and passion for the sea that I've always held.
In my bones, I've loved surfing even though it's not a sport I've actively participated in. From the shores, I see the deep spiritual values this sport holds, the community it develops, and the protection of the waters that are their playground. To me, the soul surfer is the woman who rides the tides of life, who knows who she is, and embraces every facet of herself.
Guided by the Crone, represented by the crane tattoo on her arm, she carries the wisdom of all the women who came before her, guiding her toward her future.
"In the mythology of Celtic ancestors, the Heron (and, more precisely, her ecological predecessor the crane) is associated with the mysteries of the haggish woman into which she so often shapeshifts. She’s a magical bird who is equally at home in the realms of land, water, and air; she guards the entrances to the otherworld and embodies its wisdom.” -Hagitude
Care
To ensure the longevity of your piece please frame right away. Natural light and exposure to air or water are the enemy of artwork. A glass frame (as opposed to plastic) is always preferred. Choose a spot on the wall out of direct sunlight. For original artworks I always suggest having them framed by a professional framer for a sealed back that further portects your artwork.
