The Gifts of Spring at the Gumboot Cafe for the month of April 2023

This show will be my first solo art show of my work. I am thrilled and thankful to have this opportunity. I have three series together representing some of the gifts of spring: joyful florals, hummingbirds and cherry blossoms. Hope you get a chance to come and buy some of my art. I have art cards, prints and originals. Welcome Spring, and thank you for all of the many gifts you bring us: renewal, new beginnings, growth and joy. “Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.” Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass "There are always flowers for those who want to see them." Henri Matisse "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party.'" Robin Williams Originals, Prints and Cards are available for all works. Message or email me for prices and availability.

Flowers are a gift to heal us and share some love

This series is a reflection on the experiences of the ups and downs of life and the gifts of flowers in vases. We often receive or give flowers to show our love and care for graduations, birthdays, deaths, retirement, get well and so much more. Often we look at these bouquets with fondness and reflect on what life is all about. We feel love and gratitude. I added words to the background to reflect what one may say in a card with the flowers. The originals are available. All these works are available as a print or a card.
