The Awakening of a Renaissance Soul is not merely a portrait—it is a visual invocation of transformation. Painted live in a setting of prayer and presence, this piece reflects the moment just before the bloom—where soul, Spirit, and calling begin to stir and rise.

This woman emerges from the canvas with layered grace—her expression steady, her posture quietly resolute. She is awakening to something ancient and divine within herself. Her eyes gaze upward and slightly to the side, not in search of something outside her, but attuned to something eternal—an inner knowing that has been stirred, reawakened, and remembered.

Adorning her head are symbolic flowers—not just decoration, but spiritual agents of pollination. Each petal carries the sacred possibility of activation:

Midnight Oil Blue Sunflowers speak of divine desire and reaching toward the unseen. They symbolize the ambition to grow beyond what feels possible.

Plum/Purple Sunflowers mark the threshold of spiritual exchange—the space where intuition deepens and wisdom is transmitted. They hint at the third eye, the divine portal between logic and Spirit.

Orange Cosmos bring balance, peace, and the courage to speak one’s truth, removing spiritual and emotional blockages.

Black Dragon Hibiscus encircle her head like a protective mantle—signifying the presence of the Father, the unseen reminder of divine accompaniment and identity even in adversity.

This is a portrait of a woman not yet fully arrived, but fully willing. Her garments, posture, and background all reflect the Renaissance ethos of revival, self-expression, and the dignity of the human soul in process. The lighting—soft, golden, and layered—calls attention to the inner light emerging from within.

Created through a deeply intuitive process, this painting became a declaration:

“I am here. I am ready. And I am terrified—but still, I rise.”

It holds space for the observer to remember what it feels like to be stirred, disrupted, and invited into something more. It asks:
What if the awakening is already happening in you?
What is God pollinating within your spirit?
What beauty or truth is waiting to be released?

The Awakening of a Renaissance Soul is not a final destination—it is a beginning. A sacred invitation to shed, awaken, and say yes to the divine mystery of becoming.
