A Bloody, Beautiful Blooming

Oil + Blood on Wood

I was first introduced to womb meditations four years ago, and with each opportunity, my tensions and traumas arose, but I was able to hold space for these sorrows, then recognize the wisdom and release them. After a few of these meditations, I realized that I could continue these safe spaces on my own during my moon, where I am most open and vulnerable, where all of the emotions I’ve been holding back surface, where I am closest to the current of my soul. Women are given this gift of ceremony monthly during our fertile years. A Bloody, Beautiful Blooming. I created this artwork and poetry to honor this ritual of trauma healing.

My Offering is Your Crown

Our history is in our food; it embeds in our DNA. Our food comes from this planet, Gaia, The Pachamama, Mother Earth. She nourishes us with her blooms and fruits and in turn we incubate her with our decay. Compost is our offering; letting our spoils be the fuel for the next harvest season.” Inspired by the beauty found in composting daily, Meghan Spiro collected various food items, plant clippings, dried flowers, and wasted spices and used them as subjects for her series “Bella Monezza.

“Honey bees cling to me, abandoning their hive and their queen. I wondered why until I saw your soul behind the wings. A lifetime to fill until you come back to me.” ~ Meghan Spiro.

Connected to an intimate poem about grieving, Meghan called in influences from Dia de los Muertos. “The sadness of miscarriage bleeds from womb to heart, turning your life upside down. The bees were my spiritual ally, not only in my painting, but in real life.”

The Unkept, the Unmet, the Dreams Memorized But Not Mine

Dye Sublimation Metal Print

Divorce isn’t just a dissolution of a relationship; it’s more often than not a dissolution of family, and sometimes mutual friends, which compounds the feeling of loss. After my first marriage failed, I was so relieved to feel the freedom from abuse, but then the holidays came around, and I was completely alone, dearly missing that connection to his family. That feeling has since echoed in my life after another failed marriage, with the goals of a happy family never manifesting. Some of my deepest pains resided here. A few years ago, I started confronting this loss, and I realized that our culture manufactured this dream of family that I desired so dearly, and that connection and families shape in many unconventional forms. There’s nothing wrong with putting intentions on priming your life to attract love and family. However, it shouldn’t cause you grief if you haven’t manifested it yet, or if your prospects failed, or if your definition of family was redefined. Don’t swallow the key to unlocking your suffering simply because your ego is stuck in a loop of loss. As Rumi says, ‘The wound is the place where the light enters you.’

Illuminating Eternity

Oil on Canvas
30″ x 30″

Tapping into the creative process. Despite my career in photography and media, I began my creative roots in drawing and painting, but a demanding career and motherhood put those ambitions in the backseat. I took a 15 year hiatus from painting, then this imagery came to me, and suddenly, I felt the call to the canvas again, combining my sentiments on intuition, creativity, and my spirit in eternity. Completed in late 2019, this oil painting sold during the pandemic.

Someone once told me to wear my sorrows close until they feel too heavy. I’m ready to take them off.
