Some flowers reach for the light. This one gathers it.
A single coral bloom rises from a field of deep greens and scattered light—soft, luminous, alive. The petals curve inward, holding warmth at the center. Around it, tiny blooms and glowing orbs float like whispers of possibility.
This is the painting for the woman who's learning to draw light toward her. Who knows that she doesn't have to chase brightness—she can become it. Who's discovering that even in the shadows, she's capable of glowing.
