The Garden We Carry — Juried Annual Exhibition Selection

$3,600.00

There’s a moment in life when the pressure lifts just enough to see clearly. The Garden We Carry is about that moment.

In this painting, a figure shaped by time bends and discovers new life emerging from within. The flowers do not grow from the landscape—they grow from the body itself. The work reflects the realization that growth, ideas, and change often begin internally long before we recognize them.

This piece is about transition, awareness, and the quiet shift from surviving to becoming.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind painting, created in my Texas studio and presented in a handmade floating frame.
