Trusting the Unknown – The Story Behind ‘Leap of Faith’

Every artist has those pieces that arrive almost like whispers — unexpected, unplanned, but full of truth. ‘Leap of Faith’ was one of those for me. I painted it during a season where I was learning to trust myself more deeply, to listen to intuition rather than fear. The name came to me as I stood back from the canvas — a reminder that so much of creating, and of life itself, is about letting go of control and believing that the next step will appear when you take it.

The colours flowed freely that day — soft yet vibrant, with glimmers of warmth beneath cooler layers. There’s movement, energy, and stillness woven together, like the feeling of standing right on the edge of something new. I didn’t plan where the painting would go; I just followed the rhythm of the brush, and it became a reflection of what it feels like to surrender and trust.

For me, ‘Leap of Faith’ isn’t just about bravery. It’s about softness too — that quiet inner strength that doesn’t shout, but whispers: keep going. Whether you hang it in your living space, your office, or somewhere you see it each morning, I hope it reminds you that courage doesn’t need to be certain — it just needs to be felt.

It’s a piece for anyone who’s learning to trust their path, to move forward even when the outcome isn’t clear. A celebration of resilience, light, and the beautiful unfolding that happens when we take that leap.
