Speak your Truth

"Speak Your Truth"

This is
My time.
My place.
I am making a stand
by choosing
my own tempo and
speaking my truth
without apology,
waver and in
my own
robust warble.
-Holli May Thomas

My version of a powerful Thunderbird totem. 19" X 29" mixed media on panel board. I used a piece of heavy, thick driftwood I collected and cured from the beach as the header. The Thunderbird is shooting up against a moon backdrop. His beak has the musical term “a tempo” meaning pace or speed. His physique has golden strips of vintage sheet music going down his body and into his tail feathers. He has an eye and throat chakra of blue to represent strength of will, expression of self, and following your own dream. Gold beading at the bottom.
