Freshly Carried
11” x 17”
Mixed media, collage, and acrylic on paper
There’s a feeling in this piece, like fresh flowers  just gathered, just discovered, just held for the first time.
Freshly Carried captures that quiet, fleeting moment when beauty is still new in your hands. Soft florals rise and sway through layered washes of sky blue, sunlit gold, and expressive marks, while collage elements and intuitive brushwork create depth and movement beneath the surface.
The visit of a butterfly and organic forms drift through the composition, suggesting motion, transformation, and the gentle act of carrying something meaningful forward, whether it’s a memory, a season, or a shift within yourself.
Created through layered exploration, building, revealing, and allowing moments of looseness to remain; this piece holds both energy and softness. It invites you to pause, breathe, and notice what you’re carrying with you right now.
An uplifting, contemporary work that brings light, color, and a sense of quiet renewal into your space.
