An ode to the small items we collect, this painting celebrates what can be found in the pockets and purses of women throughout the ages: pink shells pocketed on long beach walks, worn keys to spaces we’ve inhabited, and tulips plucked in the crisp air of spring for our tables and for loved ones.
Beyond the physical collection, shells symbolize protection and mysterious opportunity — does this one have a pearl? Let’s crack it open and see. Tulips have been arranged by women for hundreds of years and painted into still lives, bursting proudly with their beauty then fading as their necks turn downward in rest. They note a sacred passage of time and fading beauty.
Details: Each print is an archival giclée reproduction printed to order on high quality, beautifully textured paper here in my studio on a professional fine art printer. Each print is cut by hand and packaged individually in a clear sleeve with backing board to be shipped in a rigid flat mailer (small print) or rolled up in protective tissue paper and shipped in a sturdy tube (large print).
