The Gather Collection

(1)  to bring together or collect  (2) to pick or harvest flowers  (3) to come together as people

My favorite way to display flowers in a home is in big bunches of the same variety. It’s simple and elegant, and after growing my own flowers for the first time this year, I can literally gather a bundle with my own two hands for our table. 

This series of still life paintings also represents my own journey of slowing down and living a quiet, still life, and working with my hands. Listening to holy whispers and prioritizing loved ones closest to me. 

Many of you have shared beautiful stories of how these pieces have resonated with you. There are so many things to explore with flowers and the way they cause us to remember those who came before us. 

This collection is dedicated to the three women who instilled in me a love of all things that bloom: my mom (Nana), my Grannie Anna, and my Grandma Rita.
