At the threshold of this painting, three doves emerge—messengers of peace and spirit—guiding the viewer toward a gothic cathedral window entwined with morning glory vines. But what lies beyond the ornate frame is not stone or stained glass, but the vastness of a butterfly-shaped galaxy, unfurling in celestial colour.

This is not merely a window, but a portal. A quiet beckoning to step inward, and at once, beyond.

“Deep within us all,” writes Thomas Raymond Kelly, “there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul… a Divine Centre, a speaking voice…” Inner Sanctuary is a visual meditation on that sacred inner place—eternal, undisturbed, and ever-calling. The cathedral window symbolizes the architecture of spirit, while the galaxy beyond reminds us of the cosmos within. The doves, in flight and in pause, act as soul-guides, inviting us to remember what is already known: that we are both sanctuary and star, both vessel and voyage.

This piece is a prayer in colour and form—a reminder that each of us carries within the architecture of the infinite, and that we can, at any time, return home to the quiet centre of our being.
