This painting is about sacred feminine energy manifesting into the world. It depicts the goddess Tara whose readiness to help others is symbolized by her right foot stepping off her lotus throne. On the altar on which she sits a bonsai tree represents the Tree of Life giving shelter to the world, depicted by the marble. From the background a moonlit stream, symbolic of the Water of Life, comes pouring into the room. On the shelf an orange contains stars and galaxies. This represents how the seeds of a plant carry the life form onward through time. The light of the candle represents hope for the troubled world we live in.
