About the Piece:

Cacti are recognized for their endurance and ability to thrive in trying environments. For those who find themselves drawn to the cactus, you may subconsciously admire its ability to thrive in intense conditions that would render a plant of lesser strength lifeless. Its hard protective exterior, its endurance and strength to survive in new environments and situations. The cactus is adaptable and strong. After our trip to AZ, and seeing a sombrero cactus in person, I was filled with so much awe in nature. Nature’s reflection of us and how we can learn so much from it. It’s a sure thing - nature will always adapt and survive.

“One impulse from a vernal wood, may teach you more of man, of moral evil and of good, than all the sages can.” ~ William Wordsworth

About the Collection:

The concept for this collection was birthed from the phrase, “The only sure thing in life is death”. As dark as that is, it is true. No matter who we are or what we do or don’t do, we are all going to pass on one day. It is a guarantee in life. It’s a sobering fact that has been forced into my world quite recently. My 19 year old brother passed away in October of 2020 from an accidental overdose. I now find myself and my family in a category that we would never want to be in. Processing and healing through something of nightmares. The strangest part of all of it is that you want things to feel normal again but you don’t want your reality to be the new normal. You don’t want to get used to it and you don’t want to live with it. So this collection is about coming to terms with loss but it’s mostly about soldiering on and the search for other sure things. Birth, growth, life, renewal, release, forgiveness, and strength.
