Perched with unwavering focus, the sacred kingfisher (kōtare) surveys its world, undeterred by the darkened sky above. Abstract storm clouds may gather, but they do not define him—his purpose is clear, his vision sharp. He is a symbol of resilience, of moving forward with confidence even when the path is uncertain.
Nestled among morning glories, their soft purple petals unfolding to greet the light, he reminds us that beauty persists, even in the shadows. The kōtare is a guardian of patience and precision, teaching us that the right moment always arrives for those who wait with intention.
This mixed-media painting weaves together elements of strength, hope, and destiny. Keeper of the Light is a call to trust your inner knowing, to stand firm in your purpose, and to rise, no matter the storm.
