My Art and Their Stories
A collection of paintings inspired by real stories, and the words of the people who lived them.
Every piece begins with a memory.
“My daughter just graduated, and I’m so
proud of the perseverance she showed these
past years. I would like something that tells
her: whatever comes next, you are capable of it.”
In Floriography, the Magnolia symbolizes
perseverance, strength, and pride.
“My mother had a garden full of peonies.
Every June, when they bloomed, the whole
garden smelled of summer. I would like
something that reminds me of her.”
“This is where he proposed and I said “I do”. The lavender rows stretching out, the sun going down behind the trees. I would like something that brings me back to that evening.”
“A mother should never outlive her child.
I want something eternal, something that
will keep him close to me and remind me
of him forever and bring joy to my heart
whenever I look at it.”
In Floriography, the Poppy
symbolizes the eternal sleep.
“50 years of marriage, and I admire my
wife now just as I did the day we met: a
strong, remarkable woman. I’d like
something that includes the first love letter
she wrote me, that summer in the late 60s.”
In Floriography, the Amaryllis
symbolizes pride and virtue.
“This is the coastline where my husband and I
spent our honeymoon, wildflowers and golden
grass all around us, and the sea stretching out. I would like something that captures
how happy we were.”
“We just got married, and I’d like
something that brings us back to that
special day of unity and love. I want
to give my wife something as unique
and wonderful as she is.”
In Floriography, the Magnolia also
symbolizes nobility of soul and
feminine beauty and the wedding
rings their love.
