A bold celebration of memory, colour, and light — created to stir something within.”

A luminous still life steeped in memory, symbolism, and bold colour.

Guardians of the Flame is a richly layered oil painting featuring vivid orange tiger lilies arranged against a backdrop of deep blue velvet. Bathed in theatrical light and shadow, this painting pulses with both energy and reverence — a celebration of objects imbued with personal history.

At the heart of the composition stand Missy and Scrapper, two beloved garden dog sculptures, keeping gentle watch over the blooms. A small Buddha—gifted to the artist by her husband when they were just 17—glows with warm highlights, anchoring the composition with quiet serenity. The intricate blue dragon vase was brought back from the artist’s time living in China, a reminder of cultural beauty and shared experiences.

Each object is lovingly painted with attention to shine, edge, and emotion—principles the artist teaches in her own studio. This is more than a still life; it’s a portrait of home, memory, and the fierce joy of blooming boldly.
