A Garden of Memories

These paintings are a reflection of slow days at home—of small, ordinary moments that quietly become the most meaningful.

Inspired by time spent with my daughters, they are shaped by walks through open fields, hands gathering flowers, the rhythm of caring for animals, and the soft routines of home. There are echoes here of mornings spent in Scripture, of hymns sung together, and of the kind of days that feel long while you’re in them, but fleeting when you look back.

In many ways, this work is rooted in the spirit of Proverbs 31—not as an ideal to perfectly attain, but as a picture of faithful, everyday devotion. The quiet strength of tending a home, the care woven into ordinary tasks, and the beauty found in a life poured out for others.

Motherhood, in all its fullness, lives here—both the weariness and the joy. The long days, the unseen work, and the deep, steady love that holds it all together.

Each piece holds a sense of memory in bloom—loose, abstract florals that mirror the way these moments live in the heart: not exact, but deeply felt.

This work is an offering of gratitude for these years—full, demanding, and quietly beautiful—and a way of holding onto them while they are still here.
