There is a kind of love that doesn’t rush.
It waits.
It holds.
Held by Grace was created from that sacred knowing—that the deepest expressions of love are often found in the quiet moments where nothing needs to be fixed, nothing needs to be done.
Only held.
In the rush of giving, in the race of doing, how often do we forget to be held ourselves?
To pause.
To exhale.
To rest in the arms of grace.
This piece captures a moment of stillness—a mother cradling her child by the riverside, surrounded by azaleas and the soft hum of nature’s choir.
It’s not a grand gesture.
It’s a surrender.
An invitation to let yourself be supported, nourished, and loved without striving.
Held by Grace is part of my Where Love Walks collection, created as a sacred visual reminder that the strongest love is often the softest.
May this piece find its place in homes, nurseries, healing rooms, or personal altars—where the art itself becomes a resting place.
Where we remember:
Love is not always loud.
Sometimes, it simply holds us.
