Let’s be like wildflowers. They are growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would. Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom. A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance.

Let’s be like wildflowers. Not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. Gently swaying to the sound of the wind. Let’s be brave and true. Embrace a slower pace of life. Making time to enjoy the sights, tastes, scents and sounds that you encounter. Eternally curious, authentic, open and playful and not afraid to step off the beaten path. Creating memories that you’ll treasure forever. Wandering barefoot, sharing, loving, gathering while enjoying the journey.

Let’s be like wildflowers.

I always had a thing for reusing materials. When I was younger, I inherited boxes of old treasures from my grandma and grandpa who was a painter too. From brushes, to ribbons, from paper to sewing templates. For this abstracted landscape artwork, I used their antique paper mixed with found paper from Canada and cut-outs from my old paintings. Dream away in a coral and chocolate landscape.

Life is all about connecting with what’s around us. Nature, family, friends and strangers. Sometimes you do not need words to connect, it can be a look, a gesture, a smile and you feel the connection within.

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

As part of this mini-series “Tendre terre” is inspired by the Japanese concept “wabi sabi” which is about the perception of beauty. Accepting the transient nature of life, authenticity serves as a focus point of wabi sabi cherishes the cracks and imperfections. They symbolize the passage of time and loving use. Love as the antidote to a throwaway society built on disposable goods and mass-produced homogenous items.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

I look out of the window. Soothing sunshine and I think of you. You linger on my mind calming peace. Soothing…

That inner calm, I open my heart to the source. Soothing…

Calming silence.

I am a river, clear as crystal every morning, my path drawn by the wind. I am a river going down over wide stones. The moon shimmers in jade green water. Follow the river.

In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

Ginko is also associated with duality, a concept that recognizes the feminine and masculine aspects of all living things, ying and yang. In mythology, it’s the tree of live while the leaf is the symbol for love. Thus, a lovely gift for yourself or a loved one.
