LIMITED EDITION SERIES

“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.” — Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

“Golden like the sun” is a part of a limited series of watercolor paintings featuring gold leaf. “Golden like the sun” symbolizes the beauty of the on going life cycle of a rose including the flaws or aging petals. Like the Japanese art of kintsugi, this series uses gold to glorify the history of an object; instead of hiding a flaw, a break or the evidence of age the gold calls attention to it making it beautiful. The history of an object, rose or woman…both the good and bad ….are the story of what they are today and that is to be celebrated.
