Inspiration & Creation

She Who Lives is a standout piece that emerged from one of the most transformative points in my spiritual journey. The tiger spirit consistently revealed itself as a guide, urging me to break through the barriers of subconscious beliefs that shaped my reality. In creating this piece, I stepped into a more evolved version of myself—rewiring my mind, healing generational patterns, and embracing love and light as the foundation of my being.

This painting became both declaration and medicine: each stroke symbolizing release, transformation, and rebirth. The vibrant colors reflect the awakening of my spirit—pure, luminous, and radiant with the love that emerged once the weight of the old self had been shed.

Symbolism of the Tiger Spirit

Across cultures, the tiger is seen as a sacred protector and a symbol of strength, courage, and resilience. In shamanic traditions, the tiger spirit is known as a guardian of truth, walking between the seen and unseen worlds with fearless determination. It embodies both fierce independence and deep intuition, reminding us that true power comes from within.

In this piece, the tiger is not just an animal; it is a mirror of my own becoming. The energy of its piercing gaze and its vibrant, multicolored form reflects the soul’s capacity to transform through trials, to embody courage, and to emerge whole. It's a true testament of what it takes to release the old so that you can make way for the new, while embracing the journey itself. 

Artist’s Reflection

“She Who Lives is my healing made visible. I cried the most while painting this piece—every tear, every brushstroke, released a burden and transformed it into light. The tiger spirit became my guide through love, through resilience, through motherhood, and through the courage to become fully myself. This work is more than a painting—it is a testament to survival, transformation, and the sacred power of living as one’s true self.”
