Protectress
As a protectress, shadow guide, and guardian, Tigress supports sovereign empowerment, reclamation of instinctual wisdom, Divine Feminine Healing, and sensual creativity.
This Tigress is also deeply connected with Inner Child healing, and corresponds with the revered Hindu Mother Goddess, the fierce Warrior Goddess, Durga Maa, who is often depicted as riding a Tiger.
Durga’s connection with the Tigress is symbolic of her self-mastery and capacity to unify opposing polarities into higher harmonics of wholeness. Her presence and energy invites our own transcendence beyond the binary- into more emergent ways of being and relating with ourselves, and the world around us.
Tigress anchors as the central motif in the Navaratri Nine Faces of Durga set of Nine, with the Tigress as Ten representing both completion and new beginnings - and she also stands on her own.

This painting began emerging the night before I boarded a plane to Sedona in June 2020 with a book in my hands and a prayer in my heart that changed the course of my life. She is one of seven works that resurrected and transformed in Spring 2025.
