Pure Presence

“Pure Presence” is an original acrylic painting by Seattle artist Roberta Pacino, created as a family Christmas card and imagined as a winter companion to “Tree of Life.” A buck, birds, snowman, swing, and snow-covered tree inhabit a quiet scene of stillness and resilience. The title evokes a meditative state of direct awareness beyond thought and personal identity—the feeling of simply resting in the beauty of the moment.
