Hope

Created during recovery from breast cancer treatment, Hope is a contemplative exploration of renewal, resilience, and interconnectedness, expressed through layered symbolism. The painting opens with a radiant sunrise, its warm light illuminating the tranquil ocean and signaling the promise of new beginnings. In the foreground, vibrant daffodils stand as universal emblems of hope and rebirth, while delicate snowdrops emerge, symbolizing perseverance and the quiet strength found in early spring. Anchoring the composition, a rocky outcrop bears a subtle triquetra—an ancient symbol of unity, eternity, and the cycles that bind us all. Together, these elements create a peaceful, optimistic mood, inviting viewers to find their own meaning in the interplay of nature and spirit, and to consider how hope endures even in the face of adversity.
