"Divine Jags"

"Divine Jags" as in jaguars, is the title of this piece.
It too is done in watercolor, gouache & ink.

Jaguars are an endangered species and they
actually used to roam the southwest. This work has 3 jags - a number of divinity. It also has the lotus - representing the points of 1000 lights or enlightenment, praying hands for guidance & for the jags continuation, a planet implying their place in the universe, and a flying fish - which to me, represents the perfection.

Almost all of my artwork is symbolic, representing many different things, but my main concern in creating art is representing balance. Balance of nature & spirit. I attempt to bring attention to how delicate, fragile and precarious everything is - and how interdependent we are upon one another.
