Portals to Your Higher Self

Mixed Media on Birchwood | Handmade Frame with Gold Corners + Handle
By Martha A. Wade

This piece is a visual meditation — a reminder that your higher self is not some faraway vision, but a presence within you, waiting to be unlocked.

Portals to Your Higher Self blends hand-painted detail, collage, oil, acrylic, and natural birchwood to reveal a figure folded inward in reflection and rooted in growth. Surrounded by cityscapes, constellations, and sacred foliage, she exists between worlds — grounded, yet expanding.

Each swirling line and layered element represents a spiritual doorway: paths through memory, ancestry, and the cosmos. The deep blues and lush leaves signal healing and protection, while the golden radiance at the center honors divine transformation.

Framed by the artist with a handmade wood frame, complete with gold corners and a handle — a piece made to carry sacred energy into whatever space it lives in.
