Oil Pastel Floral Study 5
Oil Pastel on Handmade Cotton Paper | 4 x 6 inches | $145
Created in the quiet moments of early motherhood, these small works are acts of softness and survival. I turned to oil pastel - an approachable and tactile medium during a time when I felt overwhelmed, sleep-deprived, and unsure of who I was becoming.
These postpartum floral studies were created in short bursts of quiet - early in the morning and late at night. The oil pastel paired with handmade cotton paper created raw edges and soft texture - fragile but strong, just like me during my postpartum era.
This series isn’t just for mothers—it’s for anyone who has moved through a season of transformation and embraced a creative process that felt accessible amidst the chaos. I hope these paintings serve as reminders that beauty doesn’t always require grand gestures. Sometimes, it lives in small marks made during moments of survival and grace.
Whether you're a mother or simply moving through your own season of change, I hope these pieces remind you that even during life’s most disorienting seasons, small acts of creativity can root us back to ourselves and to honor the beauty that can unfold during life’s most challenging seasons.
Framing Details - Each painting is matted in an 11x14 warm, natural wood frame. Ready to hang and thoughtfully presented to highlight the intimate scale and tender energy of each floral study.
