Steam-set, French silk dye on 100% Habotai silk
22" x 22” silk mounted on 24” x 24” x 2” gessoed canvas framed in a solid wooden frame finished in a rich walnut stain.
The Living Thread is a vibrant silk painting featuring a blue jay in mid flight, its wings open in a moment of bold movement and clarity. The background glows with rustic jewel tones and soft translucent leaves, evoking the gentle shift of autumn and the way memories settle like layers of color. The composition feels both alive and reflective, offering a sense of motion through time.
Spiritually, blue jays are symbols of intuition, loyalty, and the connection between past and present. They are known as messengers that carry wisdom forward, reminding us of the threads that weave our personal history into who we are today. The title The Living Thread reflects this meaning, honoring the way the blue jay appears to move through memory, lineage, and lived experience with strength and purpose.
Hand painted on silk, this artwork brings warmth, depth, and thoughtful symbolism into any space. The Living Thread is an ideal centerpiece for collectors, nature lovers, and anyone drawn to artwork that speaks to ancestry, continuity, and the quiet guidance of spirit.
