Steam-set, French silk dye on 100% Habotai silk
12" x 9” silk mounted on 14” x 11” x 2” gessoed canvas framed in a solid wooden frame finished in a rich walnut stain.
Courage to Rise captures the intimate, powerful moment when transformation meets trust. At the center, an open hand lifts upward as a vibrant Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly takes flight—its iridescent wings shimmering against the soft textures of hand-dyed shibori silk. The gesture is one of release, faith, and willingness to rise into a new chapter.
The shibori background, washed in earthy greens, creates a grounded atmosphere that honors the steady foundation required for true growth. Against it, the butterfly’s striking blues and blacks glow with quiet strength, symbolizing the beautiful balance between vulnerability and resilience. The natural translucence of the silk allows light and pattern to move through the piece, adding depth, breath, and a sense of emergence.
The Pipevine Swallowtail is often seen as a guide through periods of profound change—a reminder that transformation need not be rushed. Instead, it can unfold with clarity, purpose, and elegance. Courage to Rise invites you to honor your own evolution, embracing the moment when letting go becomes the very thing that allows you to ascend.
This original 14x11" silk painting is mounted and beautifully presented in a deep walnut–stained wooden frame, ready to offer inspiration in any space calling for renewal, strength, and uplifted spirit.
