Story behind 'Wild & Winding'

The path to growth is rarely straight - but it’s always blooming with possibility.

As September awakens the first stirrings of spring, this piece captures the playful, unpredictable beauty of growth emerging after winter's stillness. A winding path moves across the canvas, curving and looping with no clear destination - much like how our own growth unfolds in gentle, unexpected ways. Surrounding the path, flowers bloom in joyful abundance - daisies, magnolias, lavender, and crabapple blossoms among the many I see on my daily walks. Butterflies drift between blooms, joined by bees and ladybugs - gentle reminders of transformation, dedication, and the prosperity that comes from staying present to what’s unfolding.

This piece invites us to embrace uncertainty, to find beauty in the detours, and to trust that even without a clear path, we’re still moving toward growth.
