This painting took over two years to complete. Upon starting, I intended to personify the season of Spring. Newly relocated back to the east coast of the US, I was relishing in the underrated season and how lush and full of life it is. But as my own journey with infertility began to overlap, I took note of the energy that is often not conveyed in this context. That it is not just delicate, lovely, feminine, and gentle. But also powerful, miraculous, unpredictable, and terrifying. A choice, not an obligation. A privilege, not a guarantee.

“To the ravaging unpredictability that is human fertility. To the rich abundance of the season of spring and its ability to call our attention to the fleeting present. To the awareness of the fleeting present and the seasonality of our existence. To the isolated journeys that wear us down, lift us up, change the way we exist in this world. To all of that and still…the way the flowers continue to bloom.”

The full set of prints has been created carefully by me in my studio on archival etching rag, perfectly color-matched to the original painting. What you see on screen is exactly what you will receive. Each print is numbered, dated, hand embellished and signed in gold metallic ink.

Outer edge of artwork measures exactly 12x16”. About .25” of white space is left around the edges. (Unframed). Shipped in gold metallic reusable bubble mailer.

Original piece, 22x30x2” available for purchase separately.
