The three “Gifts of New Beginnings” paintings follow a story of a young woman transforming into a wiser, grateful muse. Her identity is hidden and her view of the future is obstructed. Throughout each painting, the flowers, birds, and insects are a meaningful piece to the artwork as a whole. Each carries their own symbolism to tell their chapter of the unknown woman’s journey.
The last painting, “The Gift of Wisdom”, depicts a confident and joyful woman, full of life. She hoists an abundance of flowers in her arms to represent gratitude (hydrangeas), new beginnings (daffodils) and faith (blue irises). The woman is grounded, yet on the move. She is surrounded by cosmo flowers to symbolize joy in life and love. She is led away from the story by hummingbirds, which represent joy, healing, and good luck. She courageously walks into the next chapter of her life with strength and gratitude for each phase of her journey.
Artist Statement from the The Gifts of the Garden
Calming and complex, this collection of artwork radiates joy and a tremendous feeling of hope. These paintings are inspired by a period of slow, strong growth. The garden goes through changes. Sometimes it grows gently and other times it is forced to transform in order to survive, all while silently persisting to blossom. You, as well, are always growing. I hope this artwork reminds you to appreciate change, growth, and new beginnings; to mark the time and to cherish the process.
This collection was influenced by Art Nouveau and Chinoiserie designs. I took the iconic French style and translated it into a modern, Southern aesthetic. Each individual flower, bird, and insect is an essential and meaningful piece to the artwork as a whole. Each carries their own symbolism to tell their chapter in the story of this new collection.
