‘Out of the Chrysalis’ serves as a poignant final statement piece for my exhibition, “Honoring Loreto”. This painting encapsulates what I see as the transformative journey, experienced particularly by artists, and others, as we explore the richness of the world around us. The collection of chrysalises symbolizes the heart and the diverse adventures that shape our identities, reflecting the courage it takes to embrace love and trust. As these chrysalises open, they reveal transformed life representing the beauty and vitality that emerge from our experiences. Together, they create a lush garden of life, celebrating growth, renewal, and the endless possibilities that await when we allow ourselves to truly bloom.
