I was asked to create images for a project on diversity and inclusivity.  I pondered for weeks as to what to paint, and when I entered my studio, hearts began pouring out of me.  I couldn't stop!  LOVE is the universal language.  It encompasses us all.

"young LOVE" is one of three print versions from the same original painting.  The original was painted in aqua colors--but then I decided to shift the colors that reminded me of one of my favorite times of year--Easter.  I always loved the Easter colors as a child--from my new Easter dress to my chocolate egg wraps to my Easter bonnet!  They just bring me to happy!

When I began painting "trust in LOVE", I was tapping into the energy of trusting in Christ--my higher power.  Truly trusting Him--because I now believe He IS LOVE.  It has taken me years to get there since dealing with memories of childhood abuse.  So I chose deep brown metallic paint to give me a sense of groundedness and security.  The aqua and blue representing the calmness and peace of ocean waters.  Then I added a touch of copper because of its ability to pull higher vibrations into the physical body--and to balance meridians and chakras.  And silver for the silver linings in my life--I've had many.  I love how this heart floats in my image.  It feels heavenly to me.

Blue is the color of the soul.  And the color of the greatest healing power in the world.  Bringing us peace, calmness and serenity.  I used a lot of the color blue when healing from memories of childhood abuse for these reasons and because it also represents speaking one's truth.  I painted the original "soulZ LOVE" on a satin blue acrylic.  I love how the light creates such a glow on it.  And how my metallic paints dance on its surface.  One of my favorites.

"wine LOVE".  I know there are a lot of wine lovers out there, so this one is for you.  My father was Italian and used to make his own wine when I was a kid.  He drank it every night at dinner--1/2 glass of wine with 1/2 glass of 7-up.  Don't know why he did that, it was just his evening ritual.  A nice memory for me.

I adjusted the colors of my original "neon LOVE" painting to make this "sensual LOVE" print. I LOVE neon colors. Especially neon pink. I love how it makes me feel. To me it represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

And one night recently, after coming home from a hospital stay from Covid, I was given a jolt of neon pink in my dreams in the form of sea salts-it made me feel so vibrant, alive and happy!  Healing colors at work!

I love the clean smooth cool feel of silver--and especially how my palette knives glide beautifully along anodized aluminum. "sensitive LOVE" was painted on a piece of satin gray acrylic. The same smooth feel. I was after a moment of stillness when painting "sensitive LOVE".

Silver's gentle and comforting qualities relate to the sensitivity of the moon's cycle of ebb and flow. With its reflective and sensitive qualities silver inspires intuition, clairvoyance and mental telepathy.

"playful LOVE" is one of four print versions from the same original painting. I was inspired to paint this heart on a satin soft green acrylic substrate. It just calms me--like the feel of fresh grass underfoot. And the vision of beautiful trees--especially palm trees! Then I decided to process the image in photoshop and make it an extremely vibrant lime green and red--bringing it some fun, youth, happiness and passion! Kickass LOVE--lol.

Green is a symbol of rebirth. It’s the color of youth, prosperity, generosity, growth and progress.

I absolutely love flowers . . . you can check out my COVID-inspired photos of my fresh flowers in my home here https://pamelanielsen.com/collections/flowerz.

"organic LOVE" was born from the smell and colors of organic greens and copper foliage combined with baby blue hydrangea I experience when I walk into a floral shop. I'm breathing it in right now.

Buddha says “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” I am SO grateful for "organic LOVE"--it blesses our lives everyday if we just stop and take a moment to soak it in. Indoor and outdoor.

I painted "ONE LOVE" in honor of the LBGTQ community.  Adding a stroke of brown, black and white representing all races.  We truly are "ONE LOVE"--our souls are LOVE.  Sometimes we have to dig deep to find it.

"ocean LOVE" is the original version of three prints from the same original painting. I am such an ocean lover and these specific colors remind me of the waters in Sardinia and Samoa. Its energy brings me such peace, serenity, clarity, openness, expansion, endless possibilities . . . I could go on and on! One day I will be living by the ocean. I can't wait.
