Feeling Blessed

In this piece, a woman embraces a moment of pure contentment—resting in her beautiful blue floral mu’umu’u, a book held close to her chest, while gently petting her loyal companion dog. This painting celebrates the blessing of simple joys: restful stillness, companionship, cherished stories, and the soft comfort of a beloved garment. Here, the act of slowing down is revolutionary. The woman honors her body’s need for stillness in a world that demands constant productivity. Inspired by Islamic art, Hawaiʻi’s muʻumuʻu community, and the rhythms of an artist’s daily life, this artwork is crafted to inspire women to claim their right to rest. Through this scene, rest is depicted not as laziness, but as resistance, reclamation, and self-care—a radical gesture in our fast-paced world. The artist hopes this piece will invite women to embrace rest and remember: rest is a birthright. Clients can see the Original Painting at Downtown Art Center, Oʻahu.
