Tending the Garden of the Soul Limited Edition Print
I loved creating this painting which was a playful yet powerful process. It has been created using mixed media and I love the effects of the overlapping of materials. It feels like wandering through and tending a very magical and mystical garden, with golden light imbuing the painting. Tending the garden in mysticism refers to cultivating one's inner spiritual life, just as a gardener tends plants. It is a powerful metaphor used across traditions (Christian, Sufi) to describe the intentional growth of virtues, awareness and a relationship with the Divine through practices like prayer, meditation, and self-reflection and creativity.
By tending to the garden of the soul, we open the doors of spiritual perception and transform our souls into a lush, fruitful spaces. We view the soul as a garden that requires nurturing, weeding, watering (grace) and sunlight (awareness) in order to flourish, rather than viewing it as merely being a static entity. I hope this painting reminds you to nourish your beautiful soul and to recognise all the ways in which you have grown throughout your life so far!
