Mixed media artwork featuring a vintage black-and-white family photograph layered into a dreamlike floral composition. The central image shows a woman seated on porch steps with two children, surrounded by collaged flowers, leaves, and decorative vessels. Large yellow blooms, pink star-shaped flowers, and muted green foliage emerge from a dark background, partially veiled by soft white textures created with cold wax and acrylic paint. The layered surface blends original photography, collage, and painterly marks to create a sense of memory, nostalgia, and tenderness.
