Pink Pelican Spirit, Rise

A beautiful original painting of a pink pelican by Sydney artist Leni Kae, from her “Animal Spirit” totem series.

“With her wings outstretched, I have painted the pink pelican as a spiritual symbol of feminine transformation and spiritual rebirth. Walking on earth and splashing through water, she is as grounded as she is willing to explore her emotional depths - consuming the endless knowledge that each moment of her journey brings in order to awaken her soul. Her wings are flapping and she dances through her self-journeying; always moving and continuing to grow for her generation and the next. “ - Leni Kae

Acrylic on rolled canvas. Approx 95 x 125cm. Requires framing.
Painted with artwork colours of apricot, pink, blue, black, white.
