Moon Force

This symbolic acrylic artwork is layered both visually and thematically, weaving together themes of feminine power, spiritual wisdom, and nature’s cycles. Dominating the top section is the Triple Moon symbol—a full moon flanked by waxing and waning crescents—set against a soft sky-blue backdrop, representing the phases of life, intuition, and the divine feminine. A flowing, ribbon-like stream of foliage descends from the full moon, connecting the celestial realm to the earthly world below.
The middle golden band features two powerful esoteric symbols: the Spiral Goddess (an ancient emblem of creation, fertility, and the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth) and the Eye of Providence within a triangle, signifying awareness, hidden knowledge, and universal guidance, accented with fresh green leaves that link spirit to the natural world.
In the lower landscape, framed by leafy trees, sits a poised woman with elegantly styled hair, a delicate headpiece, and deep blue attire. Her gaze is direct and contemplative, embodying the human connection to the sacred energies above. The rich color palette—soft sky tones, warm golds, vibrant greens, and deep indigo—along with bold outlines and flat yet expressive brushwork, gives the piece a mystical, folk-inspired feel, inviting reflection on the harmony between self, nature, and the spiritual cosmos. The artist’s signature, Jada Mae Dooley, appears in the bottom right corner. 50 x 100 cm

"My name is Julie McDonald, and I am an artist dedicated to the vibrant, versatile world of acrylic paints. My creative process centers on the use of high-quality acrylics layered onto traditionally stretched, gallery-wrapped canvas, a medium I have spent mastering to achieve both bold textures and delicate luminosity.

Art has been the steadfast anchor of my life, a lifelong passion that has matured alongside me throughout my adult years. It is more than just a creative outlet; it is a vital language through which I translate the internal landscape of my thoughts and dreams into physical reality. There is a profound, meditative joy in the act of extraction, taking the fleeting visions that dwell in the corners of my mind and meticulously coaxing them into existence on the white expanse of a blank canvas.

For me, the studio is a place of alchemy. Every piece I create is an intentional performance of care and heart, driven by the unique pleasure of turning pure imagination into something tangible. Whether I am exploring abstraction or capturing a quiet moment of realism, my ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between my inner world and the viewer’s experience, inviting others to share in the emotion, color, and wonder that sparked each work in the first place."
