Encaustic, Oil and Cold Wax on Wood

30 × 40 inches, 2025

This piece is an icon and talisman of the power of love to nurture life. Imbued with the energy of astrological timing, it’s infused with the loving and protective rays of Jupiter and Venus in the nurturing waters of the sign of Cancer, August of 2025.

E.E. Cummings’ poem, describes it well:

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
