52 Weeks of Flowers: A Year-Long Painting Journey
As we step into a fresh new year, I’m thrilled to share an exciting creative project that’s been blooming in my mind for some time now: 52 Weeks of Flowers. This year-long painting challenge is more than just a commitment to create—it's an invitation to celebrate the beauty, artistry, and deep symbolism of flowers through weekly paintings.
Flowers have always held a special place in my heart and on my canvas. Their fleeting nature, vibrant colors, and intricate details tell stories of growth, resilience, and joy. Through this challenge, I hope to not only capture those stories but also deepen my connection to my creative practice.
Why 52 Weeks of Flowers?
This challenge isn’t just about producing a weekly painting—it’s about showing up consistently for my art, embracing both the process and the outcome. Flowers, with their endless variety and symbolism, provide the perfect muse. Whether it’s a delicate wildflower, a bold sunflower, or an elegant rose, each bloom offers a unique opportunity to explore light, color, and texture.
But this journey isn’t just for me—it’s for you too. I want this space to become a source of inspiration, a gentle reminder to pause and notice the beauty around us. Whether you're a fellow artist, a flower enthusiast, or someone who simply loves watching creativity unfold, I hope you’ll join me on this colorful adventure.

Every week, I’ll be sharing my floral painting on Instagram, along with thoughts about the inspiration, process, and perhaps even the stories behind each bloom.

A Year of Growth and Creativity
My hope is that by the end of these 52 weeks, this challenge will not only leave me with a collection of floral art but also a deeper appreciation for the practice of showing up, week after week, to create.
