Kirsten Todd - Art at Vixen Verified listing

The Divine Feminine Collection.

The main body of Kirsten’s portraits highlight the rise of the Feminine energy in this time of great change as we, our planet and our universe are on our journey of ascension to a new vibration. Her paintings celebrate strong women from all cultures, capturing within them inner strength, but also capturing a moment to see their vulnerabilities, their softer side and their feminine essence. They highlight the struggle of women to be accepted as equals, giving women a voice, seeing beauty within and celebrating cultural diversity. Kirsten’s work concentrates around the theme of The Divine Feminine and empowering women, after centuries of suppression of the powerful female energy. Women are the creators of humanity, and that creative force is one of the greatest powers there is. It is now time for women to reclaim their innate strength and wisdom, be heard and accepted as equals and the Goddess energy they possess within allowed to shine forth.
The Divine feminine energy should be revered and respected.  Women are nurturing, compassionate and wise by their very nature. Kirsten wants to show the strength and wisdom women hold within, our connection to each other and all that exists.

Kirsten states that we all have masculine and feminine energy within us and for the last few thousand years it has been out of balance with the masculine energy, having a much stronger influence and in control of the way we feel and think. This imbalance has caused the patriarchal society we live in, fuelling aggression, war, anger, greed, materialism, over consumption, selfishness and dominance over women. This is not the design for the human race and a balancing of both masculine and feminine needs to occur. Now there is a rise of the divine feminine energy streaming into the planet and within us seeking to rebalance our bodies, our inner world and by extension our outer world and planet. This feminine energy brings compassion, strength within, heightened intuition, truth, wisdom and spirituality.

Everything is energy, has a vibration and frequency and is all connected to everything else creating an intertwined cause and effect, i.e. the butterfly effect. One small action somewhere can have a huge effect on something in another place, planet, universe, or dimension or density. Everything we do, think or say has an energy and therefore a mass and creates  an effect on everyone and everything else, literally creating our reality and our perception of it.

If we listen to our intuition, we can tap into unlimited strength, compassion, wisdom and guidance. We can shine our light and show the world our true essence and true powerful nature, empowering ourselves and the world around us.
