Jacob's ladder is a continuing theme in my work because it’s a powerful symbol of transcendence. A story from the book of Genesis, it tells of Jacob's dream of a ladder stretching up to heaven with angels ascending and descending upon it. At its core, Jacob's ladder is a bridge between heaven and earth, but it also represents our ongoing journey of self-discovery and transformation.

I chose to use bold, bright colors to represent the energy and movement of the angels on the ladder. By tapping into the the connection and movement between heaven and earth, I have tried to create a painting that speaks to the deepest parts of our human experience to inspire feelings of wonder.

Jacob’s Dream 23032201 is a digital and physical mixed media painting using pigment ink, acrylic, mica, gel ink and love on stretched canvas, framed in oak. Size: 12 x 17 x 1 inches.
