The Tree of Illumination (eyes)

This exquisite mixed-media painting by Marilyn celebrates the eternal connection between heaven and earth through the image of a luminous golden tree. Its branches shimmer with jewel-like leaves reminiscent of peacock feathers — ancient symbols of awakening, immortality, and divine vision.

Rooted in textured layers of metallic gold and bronze, the tree seems to glow from within, embodying both grounding and transcendence. Each detail, from the raised textures to the hand-placed gems, reflects Marilyn’s devotion to sacred beauty and her intuitive sense of balance between light and form.

The Tree of Illumination serves as a reminder of our own spiritual roots and infinite potential — that even in stillness, we are ever-growing, ever-reaching toward the light. Through this work, Marilyn invites the viewer to witness the quiet miracle of life itself — radiant, eternal, and deeply interconnected.
