Flowers
for
Friends
Painted once. Given once.
Remembered always.
Flowers for Friends grew from a love of giving painted flowers that capture the recipient’s personality, energy, and spirit. I accept a small number of commissions for those who want a flower or natural element painted for someone truly special in their life.
A commissioned piece begins with the person you’re honoring. You may already have a flower or object in mind, or you can share a few special words about them, memories you hold, or the way that they move through the world. From there, I can suggest a flower or object that feels aligned, drawing on its form, symbolism, and character.
Each commission is painted slowly and intentionally as a one-of-a-kind acrylic or watercolor piece. No sketches are reused. No images are repeated. The piece exists only once, created for one person at one moment in time.
Visit my gallery to view what I’ve created for my special friends, and let’s talk about what I could create for yours.
