This is a paper mache cast of my client’s pregnant belly. The client had trouble conceiving for years and wanted a memorial of their journey. Through various methods of trying to get pregnant, her and her husband finally got what they dreamed of- TWIN GIRLS! The girls were miracle babies and their story brings me to tears.
This painting is a garden of everyone’s favorite flowers.
The calla lilys were painted from a picture of the mother’s wedding flowers. The daisies and roses were the twins’ favorite flowers. Their older sister wanted roses in a different color. And the bumble bee bringing life and joy to everyone represents the older teenage sister in the family. The butterflies are memorials for the children they lost along the way in this difficult, long journey. The life and love that comes from having a family and bearing children is beautiful and lasting, just like this painting.
