REBEL With a Cause! Uncompromising 1960s spirit—that raw, defiant elegance of a woman who knows exactly who she is and isn't asking for permission. It carries the weight of women's lib and tossing your bra on the fire! (is that what we did?)

The Soul of the Piece

• The Rebel Heart: This is for the pioneer who lived through the revolution and kept the fire. It’s the "Love and Peace" era distilled into a single, sophisticated statement. It's one-of-a-kind and will look great on any sunheart goddess gals.

The morning light is filling the room, and she’s in a soft, romantic drift—that vibrant desire to step out and be seen. She scans the familiar rows of her favorite pieces, looking for the one that matches the specific brilliance of the day.

Her hand finds it. Tucked like a hidden treasure between her coats is the ANU shawl from Sunheart.  As she pulls it free, the room feels wider. She lets the fabric bloom around her. It is an ethereal, floating sweep of warmth that catches the air as it settles. This airy wool brings a sudden surge of energy as it finds its place.

As she turns, the fringe catches her movement, dancing with a rhythmic, playful energy that mirrors the new beat of her pulse. The transformation is absolute. She is stepping into her own radiance. She catches her reflection one last time, adjusts her red glasses with a sharp, confident flick, and walks out the door with a smile that says she knows exactly how good she looks.

"You’re also a Late Bloomer if you’ve been working for a living in an area that is not kind to your soul. Then one day, because you change livelihoods or you find your way out or you run for daylight, as we say, you then have a chance to develop a whole new side of your gifts—or all of them or any of them—in a way you never have before.”

 Clarissa Pinkola Estes

America—and the world—have carried a lot this past year. I feel it too. So I’m stepping into this new year with a steady heart and simple intentions: warmth, comfort, beauty, and the kind of bright color that helps me keep going.

our decorated tree, breathing there
among the metallic angels, ceramic apples, stars of yarn,
its eyes open, like mine as I lie in bed tonight
picturing this rare, lucky sparrow
tucked into a holly bush now,
a light snow tumbling through the windless dark.

A great lagenlook tunic changes the whole mood of a woman’s day. She slips it on and instantly feels more spacious, more graceful, more herself. The fabric moves when she moves, so her body relaxes and her presence turns confident. It’s the kind of piece that makes her walk into a room with ease—artful, feminine, and quietly powerful.

Original 16" x 20" Collage & Oil Painting by Kristena West, M.A.

I create Sophia as a being who arrives through color. She floats across a shifting field of crimson and deep rose, and her turquoise robe glows like inner radiance rising from within the canvas itself. As I work, I feel her presence forming through layers of oil, collage, and metallic detail, each stroke revealing her more fully.

Her wings are real metal—thin, hand-etched, and shimmering with quiet light. I attach them so they catch the eye immediately, a physical presence that gives her a sense of sacred arrival. Above her dark hair rests a jeweled crown, and the moment I place it, she becomes a young mystic, a celestial messenger, a figure who steps forward from the threshold with blessing energy.

Around her, the background swirls between green, violet, and red. These colors create a luminous, soft atmosphere that makes her appear weightless, as if she is mid-arrival into the viewer’s world. This is the moment I love most in painting: when an archetype begins to breathe.

My work in cross-cultural iconography always guides me as I paint divine feminine forms. I listen for the essence behind the image—the archetype that moves through many cultures and holds its presence across time. Sophia appears as a guide, an inner teacher, a luminous spark in the center of the heart.

Collectors who resonate with feminine archetypes, goddess imagery, mixed media, and symbolic storytelling often connect deeply to this piece. Sophia carries the energy of awakening, compassion, and the quiet authority of a young oracle.

She is currently available in my studio, and she feels like a painting meant for someone who works with inner light, color meditation, or sacred spaces in their home.

If you feel a spark when you see her, that is the beginning of a conversation between you and the painting—and that conversation is the true magic of art.

SILK VELVET SQUARE SHAWL. Beautiful, Really Big perfect for winter wear. Care; dry clean

This rare 50x50" red peacock silk burnout velvet scarf is a showstopper — an opulent piece of wearable art. The vivid red silk background glows with hand-detailed embroidery and velvet appliqué, featuring a pair of regal peacocks surrounded by lush flowers in deep jewel tones. The velvet burnout technique gives it that sheer, luxurious shimmer only real silk can create, and the beadwork adds a subtle, mesmerizing sparkle when it catches the light. Perfect as a shawl, wall hanging, or draped over your favorite chair, this one carries an unmistakable vintage allure.

You simply can’t get these anymore — this style of handworked silk and velvet artistry has vanished from today’s market.
