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.
In the middle painting, “The Gift of Change”, the transformed woman is shown more grounded with the dark, night sky around her. She is surrounded by butterflies (metamorphosis), sprouting purple cornflower (strength/ healing) and bay leaves (courage). The strong woman grasps a few stems of forget-me-nots as a reminder to learn from the past and continue to have hope.
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.
