It took me a while to find her story in the paint, I’m so grateful when I did. She turned out more beautiful than I expected. I originally thought I would call her Madre del Sacro Cuore - Mother of the Sacred Heart but the more I worked with her the more like Madre Natura - Mother Nature she felt.

I absolutely adore everything about her.

Her armature was made from a spoon shaped shell that I found on my special beach which made the perfect Italian Archway to her soul and I combined that with one of the heart shaped stones I found on the same beach. I have loved incorporating nature and organic elements into my work this past year and I feel it has brought something extra to each piece.

When I go on my walks I find these beautiful natural treasures and I immediately see how and where they can be used and it feels like a kind of alchemy.

This special angel will be in my ComeClaywithMe Collection solo auction later this month.

I will share the event’s page soon.
