Original Acrylic 24" x 30"
An intimate view into the world of women’s powerful work of bringing new life into this world, and the ancestors who surround us to support this sacred rite of passage. This grandmothers from around the world are assisting by laying on of hands their love, healing, and experience to this young mother. The birthing woman whose eyes are closed has instinctually entered her primal state to bring forth life through her body. In this moment the mother’s spirit rises as her baby is crowing at her altar and entering the world. My work as a midwife assisting hundreds of births, revealed to me the importance and impact of bringing natural birth back into our cultural awareness as the sacred experience it is.
