This piece was my first painting after a several-year hiatus and captures a monumental moment.
After several years away from painting, I sat in front of a blank canvas with trembling hands and no idea what would come out. What emerged were two peonies. Soft, layered, and quietly resilient. This was the first piece and inspired me to begin my new Blooming Botanical collection, created at a time when I was finding my way back to myself. Each petal represents a small part of that return — uncertain, but full of hope. It reminded me that blooming doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful, blooming still happens even in a quiet relisience.
