You Are My Penguin

Oil on linen, 30x40"

SOLD | Limited Edition Giclée Prints Available

This piece is a nod to the great penguin and also to the childlike wonder and curiosity we tend to lose while growing up. Just a reminder to make the most of the time we have together on this earth.

When viewing this piece, consider the symbolism of the penguin as it resonates with me; it stands for protection, nurturing, and community. But the bird’s meaning also deals with being unique because of its unconventional way of life — the penguin encourages us to love our differences while still getting along with others.

Penguins symbolize dreams, adaptability, dual-natures, closeness, family, and spirituality. It’s a bird that had adapted to fly through the water instead of the sky— choosing to dive deep into the world of dreams. ✨

The color blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed. The color of ocean and sky, blue, is a constant and calming influence in our world. Turquoise encourages inner healing through its ability to enhance empathy and caring. Together, these colors heighten our intuitive ability and open the door to spiritual growth. They are the colors of the evolved soul.
