Each piece carries an energy. You'll know which one is yours. Hang it where you work, where you wake, where you need reminding of the energy you want to create from.
Durga is a Hindu Goddess and represents the fierce, protective form of the Divine Mother. Her name means “the invincible one” or “fortress.”
She embodies Shakti – the creative feminine energy of the universe – especially in her form as the warrior who destroys evil and restores balance.
She calls to the woman who wants to remember her strength AND fluidity.
For this piece, the blues were calling me - and what showed up was a combination of depth, spaciousness and beauty. You can sink into her for hours.

The Sunrise Ruby was named after the following poem by Rumi
In the early morning hour,
just before dawn, lover and beloved wake
and take a drink of water.
She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more?
Really, tell the absolute truth."
He says, "There is nothing left of me.
I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world
made of redness? It has no resistance
to sunlight."
This is how Hallaj said, I am God,
and told the truth!
The ruby and the sunrise are one.
Be courageous and discipline yourself.
Completely become hearing and ear,
and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.
Work. Keep digging your well.
Don't think about getting off from work.
Water is there somewhere.
Submit to a daily practice.
Your loyalty to that
is a ring on the door.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who's there.A Rumi poem from
The Essential Rumi

The raw, naked guts of us, if we’re willing.
