Teal Ribbon Dance |
Abstract Canvas Print from Original Oil Painting
by Nicole McNamara
The quiet storm beneath composure — ribbons of calm on the surface, tangled emotions twisting underneath.
"Teal Ribbon Dance" is the slow-motion swirl of what never got said, what never felt safe to feel. Those teal ribbons? They're a dance you learned early—move gracefully, stay quiet, float above the hard stuff. Anger? Too messy. Shame? Too dangerous. Fear? Hide it with a smile.
But just beneath the surface? There’s a storm. A whole undercurrent of buried emotion twisting and turning in tight little circles—never quite free, never quite still.
This piece holds space for the woman who’s mastered the art of seeming fine. Stoic. Composed. Detached. But inside? She’s aching to feel more than just nothing. To move in a way that’s real. Raw. Unfiltered.
"Teal Ribbon Dance" is the visual of that in-between—of knowing you’ve never been taught how to express the hard stuff, but still craving a way out of emotional autopilot. It’s beauty, yes. But it’s also a quiet reckoning.
"This painting is the pause between numbness and awakening — a reminder that beauty can live even in the spaces we don’t fully feel yet."
- Nicole McNamara

The Mood This Palette Creates
Every shade in this piece is chosen with intention — to shift the energy of your space, spark emotion, and remind you of what’s possible every time you walk past it.
A river of layered teals and sea greens weaves through "Teal Ribbon Dance", intersected by bright ribbons of lime and turquoise that evoke motion and grace. Rounded forms float like soft buoys, balancing the tension between fluidity and containment. The vertical flow creates a sense of gentle suspension, while the concealed undercurrents suggest complexity beneath serenity. The palette’s teal dominance reflects calm and introspection, contrasted by flashes of green and yellow that symbolize emerging vitality—a visual metaphor for emotional awakening.
