Medium: Charcoal, Acrylic, and Mixed Media
Size: 38” x 38”
Available for Rent or Purchase
Exhibited: 5 Artists 1 Love, Art Gallery of Alberta (2025), featured in the JD Art solo room
Rooted in Stardust is a surreal and symbolic painting that explores the duality of perception and self-worth. A charcoal hand emerges from the foreground, presenting a golden mirror to the viewer — a mirror that reflects a content, beautiful woman smiling back. The composition invites you to see yourself in this reflection, even when life feels clouded.
Above a soft bed of clouds floats a chessboard — the Queen standing tall, unchallenged. A shadow figure sits on the board’s edge, his head replaced with swirling, tangled scribbles — a visual metaphor for confusion, internal struggle, or emotional overwhelm.
Behind it all: the infinite expanse of space and stars. A reminder that while we’re made of stardust, grounded in cosmic magic, we still carry the weight of earthly doubts. This piece is both grounding and awakening — an invitation to reflect, to breathe, and to reclaim power.
