Artwork Description

“Mother Earth,
Teach Us of Beginnings and Endings”

“They are the same.

You dread change and fear the new,
but it is in everything.

I see you holding on dear one,
Your past is no longer there.

Turn your head toward the Sun,
That is where we begin again.

I am the swaying tree,
I sit quietly on the riverbank,
I am every current, every ocean.

I am the ground you walk,
I am the raindrop, in every storm.
I am the rumble in the thunder
I am the sparkle in the lightening.

I am the soil, the sand, the ground,
the core of Earth.

We are the birds chirping,
the buds flowering,
We are the wings on the butterfly.

We are everywhere.

I have your loved ones,
gone before you, by my side.

We work together,
urging you to chase your dreams

We are guiding you every step on your journey,
Until we meet again.

We are gently showing you change,
you are worth of more.
You just need to see,
Believe it.
One day you will be with me again,
But until then,
Embark upon the life you see yourself living.

Live from your heart, take steps everyday
Towards the life you seek and deserve.

Embrace the changes
As you witness the seasons change.

They come,
They go,
All while,
supporting you.

Artist Bio

Hi, I’m Olivia.

My artwork is intuitive and energy-driven, inspired by the colours and wonders of nature. I use art as a tool for self-expression, exploring the experiences and emotions that have shaped who I am today. I enjoy mixing colours and exploring shapes, symbols, and patterns that emerge naturally in my work.

My art journey began after the death of my husband.
Painting allows me to be free in my mind and create from the heart.
It gives me the opportunity to express feelings without words and to explore emotions in a way that words alone cannot convey.
