About the Art: A reminder for rest!

This record, and the imagery is a reminder of the way nature works, hibernation, things that grow, the cycle of life. there’s no stopping the cycle, but we can bring awareness to it, as we can often forget.my hope is that this imagery will bring some quiet to the space that it’s in, the peace it provide, while creating it, and in even the shortest moment it may take to observe it.

Materials Used: Acrylic paint, brushes, and acrylic paint pens
