Eden

Eden by Marilyn Wells 24" x 30" oil and cold wax on wood panel, finished sides Eden was inspired by Mary Oliver’s poem “Fireflies,” especially these lines: Though Eden is lost Its loveliness remains in the heart and the imagination — Mary Oliver 2601OCW In Eden, layered passages of oil and cold wax suggest a remembered paradise — not as a literal garden, but as an inner landscape of longing, beauty, and luminous presence. Color, gesture, and atmosphere move across the surface like traces of something once known and still quietly alive within us. This painting belongs to my continuing body of visionary work exploring diaphanous light, transparency, and the transformative journey of human consciousness. Forms emerge, dissolve, and reappear through layered surfaces, inviting the viewer to sense what may be hidden beneath ordinary sight. Created in oil and cold wax on wood panel, Eden reflects my ongoing interest in emergence, memory, spirit, and the way beauty continues to live in the heart and imagination. Marilyn Wells, Ph.D., is an American visionary artist whose paintings explore the transformative journey of human consciousness and its awakening connection with the ever-present Origin.
