Where the Light Enters

Where the Light Enters is a 36" x 24" acrylic-on-gallery-wrap canvas, a contemporary barn painting that radiates warmth and peace. This up-close, cropped view of the barn invites the viewer into a quiet moment of reflection, where even in the face of life’s storms, resilience and beauty prevail.

Inspired by Rumi’s timeless words, “The wound is where the light enters you,” this piece celebrates the weathered and broken bits of the barn—the cracks and imperfections that allow light to spill through, revealing the mystery within. Like the barn, we are shaped by the storms we endure, and it is in these vulnerable places that strength, beauty, and light take root.

Perfect for those who embrace life’s complexity and transformation, Where the Light Enters captures the poetic interplay of resilience and nostalgia.
