Navigating with Love
Original Encaustic and Mixed Media — Kim McCarthy

Love always knows the way.

A compass rises in a luminous golden sky, its surrounding texture full of hearts — true north held within a field of swirling amber and gold. Below, a solitary bird stands on a webbed path of sea fan, present and unhurried. The currents move around it. The direction is clear.

When we navigate from love rather than fear, we always find our way.

This work is deeply symbolic and intentionally open — every viewer brings their own interpretation, their own life experience, their own meaning to what they see. That is part of the gift.
