"Ever Lasting Memories:
One Petal at a Time" Series
"Everlasting Memories: One Petal at a Time" is a heartfelt tribute to the endless floral fields and sunlit orange, olive, and lemon groves that stretched behind my grandmother's house. Inspired by a place alive with the warm hum of nature, each piece in this series captures the essence of those vibrant, fragrant days.
My grandmother, a gentle caretaker, tended to her gardens and the farm animals and small creatures that found their way into her care. Through each brushstroke and blossom, I seek to evoke the beauty, simplicity, and nurturing spirit of that precious world—one petal at a time.​
