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.
Framed in rich walnut, Sacred Encounter captures one of nature’s most extraordinary gifts, the moment a butterfly chooses to land on you. In this original silk painting, a Harmonia Tigerwing butterfly rests lightly on the pointer finger of an open hand, its amber-and-ink wings glowing against a stunning shibori-dyed background of deep purples and iridescent blues. The pattern, reminiscent of snakeskin, adds a sense of mystery and ancient wisdom, echoing the layered symbolism within the piece.
In many spiritual traditions, butterflies are revered as messengers of intuition, transformation, and soul presence. But when a butterfly willingly lands on a person, it’s considered a rare blessing. A quiet affirmation that you are aligned, seen, and energetically open. Sacred Encounter honors that ephemeral connection, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting reminder of trust, resonance, and the unseen forces that guide us.
Painted on luminous silk, the hand and butterfly appear to lift from the textured background, creating a sense of stillness, reverence, and subtle magic. The contrast between the delicate wings and the bold shibori pattern symbolizes the harmony between vulnerability and strength, between the earthly and the ethereal.
Mounted and beautifully presented in its walnut-stained frame, Sacred Encounter invites viewers to pause, breathe, and receive its quiet message: Sometimes, the most sacred moments are the ones that choose us.
