Wing Light’s: The Sovereign Audit
An excerpt for readers who already know me through the paintings.
If you’ve followed my work here for a while, you’ve already met parts of this story without knowing it. The sacred geometry, the gold seams, the deities and the hummingbirds — none of it started as decoration. It started as a way to process a life I didn’t yet have language for. The book gave me that language. Here’s a piece of it, drawn from the chapter that tells the story behind one of my paintings, Hope.
Hope, a high-precision linear blueprint of the star-tetrahedron chariot I sat inside during my EMDR trance, is still my personal favorite. Years before I painted it, working National Speakers Association conferences as a corporate vendor, I’d felt a magnetic pull toward the stage and told my mother, “I think this is what I’m meant to do.” I didn’t feel worthy yet. I was still frantically jumping between hemispheres. I feel ready now — in hope that this book is of service to whoever’s ready to build. Hope is the antidote to that earlier timeline: proof that worthiness was never a credential you print. It’s an internal frequency you occupy.
That’s the thread running underneath everything I paint: the belief that a broken place, properly repaired, becomes the strongest part of the design. Wing Light’s: The Sovereign Audit is the full account of how I learned that — fourteen years in a Hollywood boardroom, a body that eventually forced the truth out of me, and the seven-part framework I built to put myself back together with the gold showing.
The book is complete and currently being read by literary agents. If you’d like to follow its progress, or read more essays exploring the same ideas, I write weekly at The Sovereign Audit on Substack.
