Holding Winter is a reflection on the beauty of the moments, seasons and stages of life that we wish we could hold onto just a little longer.
A woman cradles a delicate bunch of hellebores, a quiet gesture that speaks to our desire to preserve the things we cherish, even as time moves forward and life continues to change. It is about holding onto beauty, memories and the fleeting phases of life, while acknowledging that nothing stays the same forever. A gentle reminder to pause, appreciate where we are, and find beauty in the moments that might otherwise pass us by
Each print is a limited edition of only 25 per size, individually signed and numbered by the artist. They are giclée printed using archival pigment inks on premium 330gsm acid-free fine art paper, capturing the subtle tones and texture of the original pastel for lasting beauty.
Artist’s Note
When I created Transformation, I was thinking about how change rarely arrives all at once. Often it’s quiet and gradual — a soft unfolding over time. I wanted to capture that fragile moment when something begins to shift.
