These Bittersweet Blooms originals were painted to hold summer’s joy all year long, Vivid pinks and blues, playful vessels, and a hidden bird in every piece.
The series is about contrasts: beauty and difficulty, sweetness and melancholy, light and shadow — often existing together, just as they do in life.
For August only, I’m offering a select handful of these works to my email subscribers at special collector pricing, with free U.S. shipping for out-of-town collectors. Once summer ends, so does this offer.
Inspired by the lipstick effect — the idea that even in hard times, we reach for small luxuries to keep joy alive, this piece is a reminder that there’s always room for a splash of bold color, even on the grayest days.
Created with layers of vintage textiles, acrylic paint, and playful “paint skins” saved from the mouths of my paint bottles (like tiny, accidental sculptures), this piece is full of both texture and story. A hidden bird is tucked among the petals.
Details:
12" x 16" on cradled wood panel
Mixed media: vintage fabric, acrylic paint, dried “paint skins”
Special August collector pricing — free U.S. shipping included.
