Inherited Wonder Original Artwork

9 X 12 Oil on Board

“Holding her child, hands reaching,

Teaching not with words— but with wonder.

“This is how we love the world,” she whispered,

“By noticing it.”

And in that moment,

He wasn’t just learning the earth— he was learning her.”

“Today connecting to Mother Earth looked like digging in the dirt with my child…slowing down…noticing the world together.

It reminded me: I don’t have to save the planet alone.
When I show up in love, and let my kids see me care, that kind of wonder ripples.

The way we treat the earth teaches them how to treat the sacred.

Keep raising your little earth-keepers.”
