Artist's Statement:
"I don't usually write about a piece when I upload it, because I want it to speak to you visually without words. I am making an exception for this series. These women speak to the journey of finding beauty in chaos and understanding that we can have both peace and chaos at the same time. That there is an 'and' in every part of our lives. Learning to embrace our 'and's' opens opportunities." — Sarah Andreas

The Story Behind the Painting:
At the heart of Humming Peace is a woman in a graceful meditation pose, her eyes closed in a state of deep presence. Her hair is adorned with stunning flowers and hummingbirds—symbols of joy, resilience, and the ability to find sweetness even in chaos. The intricate details and vibrant colors create a visual paradox: stillness surrounded by movement, peace held within abundance.
This painting doesn't ask you to choose between calm and vitality—it invites you to hold both. The woman's serene expression exists alongside the dynamic energy of hummingbirds in flight and flowers in full bloom. It's a reminder that peace isn't the absence of chaos; it's the ability to remain centered within it.
