Where Light Lands

Where Light Lands

11 x 14 inches (27.9 x 35.6 cm)

Where Light Lands is an original botanical mixed media artwork created with layered fabric, crystals, Czech glass beads, and paper dragonfly construction on birch panel. Part of the Floral and Botanical Collection, this richly textured contemporary piece weaves together luminous color, intricate detail, and tactile depth — rooted in the breathtaking moment when light finds a flower at the height of its bloom.

A single magnificent peony fills the composition with generous, unhurried abundance — its layered petals constructed from a stunning array of batik and printed fabrics in deep magenta, crimson, blush pink, peach, and warm gold. Each petal is distinct, carrying its own pattern — from florals to stripes to abstract botanical prints — yet together they spiral inward with the same quiet logic as a real flower opening in the morning light. The center is richly detailed with Czech glass beads and crystals that catch and hold the light like dew gathered at the heart of a bloom. A strong fabric stem traced with Czech glass bead detail anchors the peony to a patchwork background of layered batik fabrics in soft blue grey, sage, and celadon — each panel distinct yet harmonious, like a quiet garden seen through pale morning light. In the upper right corner, a beautifully crafted paper dragonfly hovers at the edge of the composition — a delicate, whimsical detail that rewards the careful observer.

Balancing opulence and stillness, Where Light Lands invites the viewer into a world where a single bloom holds everything worth noticing. This is a piece for the collector who wants a home filled not just with art, but with feeling. This piece is part of the Floral and Botanical Collection.
