This painting of pink peonies is a deeply personal reflection of my healing journey through breast cancer, a visual testament to resilience, renewal, and quiet strength. Each bloom unfurls like a chapter of my story: layered, tender, and full of life. The soft yet vibrant pinks are not just a color, but a symbol echoing the breast cancer ribbon, they stand for courage, compassion, and the beauty of vulnerability.
Peonies, often seen as emblems of healing and hope, embody the spirit of recovery. Their delicate petals hold the weight of endurance, while their gentle fragrance and graceful presence offer comfort and light. In their blooming, I see my own: once closed, uncertain, now open, alive, and full of grace.
This painting is more than a floral study. It is a celebration of hope after hardship, beauty after pain, and the quiet, unwavering strength it takes to blossom again.
Encased in a beautifully crafted oak frame, the painting is given a sense of timeless elegance. The rich, warm tones of the oak complement the painting’s natural palette, enhancing its calming and inviting atmosphere.
This stunning combination of art and craftsmanship makes "Peony Promise" not just a visual experience but an invitation to immerse oneself in the serene beauty of these beautiful blooms.
It measures 65 x 65 cm including the frame and is available to view and buy exclusively in my Ormeau Road, Belfast gallery.
