A quiet moment of change.
Transformation captures the delicate moment between holding on and letting go within this peony bunch. Created in soft pastel, the original artwork reveals subtle shifts of colour and texture, with soft forms dissolving into light.
There is a stillness here, yet also a sense of movement — like the quiet, almost imperceptible transitions that shape our lives. Rather than dramatic change, this work reflects the slow unfolding of growth, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.
It’s a piece about vulnerability, resilience, and the beauty that exists within moments of transformation.
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.
