Whispers of the Past

Whispers of the Past invites viewers into a dreamlike space where spirit and story converge. In this evocative portrait, a Native American woman is rendered in profile, her gaze steady, timeless, and luminous. The background, a serene wash of blue, suggests the infinite expanse of water and sky—realms where memory drifts and returns. Her braid, detailed with strokes of midnight and cobalt, is not just a hairstyle but a lineage—woven, enduring, alive.

From her throat emerges a single radiant fish—as if it has swum out of another realm to speak. This unexpected companion becomes the visual heartbeat of the painting, a symbol of ancestral voice and spiritual inheritance. It hovers not just near her voice but within it, embodying a truth too deep for language alone.

This work merges surrealism and storytelling into a profound meditation on legacy. It reminds us that history is not something behind us, but something we carry—in our bodies, our breath, our art. Whispers of the Past is more than a portrait. It is a portal—for collectors who seek meaning, for viewers who long to feel seen, and for those who understand that silence can be its own kind of sacred speech.

Whispers of the Past
for the woman who remembers

A single fish swims from my throat—
not to escape,
but to remind me
that I am made of rivers
no map has named.

My braid is a thread of skywater,
tied with the breath of those
who spoke before me.
They live in the silence
between pulse and prayer.

I carry their songs
without needing to sing—
their memory curves
through the bones of my face,
through the gaze I do not lower.

Time does not move forward,
not here.
It pools, it circles,
it comes back with stories
still wet from the source.

So I stand at the edge of the visible,
listening.
Not for answers,
but for the weight of truth
that hums behind every stillness.
