Artwork Description

"The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished".
- Deng Ming-Dao

The Worm Moon is named for the earthworms that begin to reappear as the soil thaws, signaling the return of spring. It marks a time of awakening, when the earth stirs back to life and the natural world begins to shift from stillness to movement.

Spiritually, the Worm Moon represents renewal, resilience, and the quiet strength found in change. It encourages us to emerge from our own hibernation, to shed the old and make space for growth.

In this painting, the Worm Moon glows with earthy energy—an emblem of transformation, subtle power, and nature’s steady, unstoppable rhythm.

Artist Bio

I am inspired by the beauty of the world around me. I live by the ocean and find wonder in her ever-changing moods and colours. I find inspiration in the animals that cross my path and the subtle messages they bring.

I paint from my heart and am guided by my spiritual connection to Mother Earth. Every colour is a mood and every dot is a thought or emotion.

I'm sending out love and light to all the artists here on Bluethumb and wishing everyone every success!

To all the collectors, art lovers and patrons of the arts - I hope you find something you would like to make a part of your life and home!

I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, rivers and seas, and pay my respects to the Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the knowledge, traditions and dreams of us all.
