Grown right in my backyard, "Miss Sissy Peony" is a fitting and heartfelt title for this portrait of a Sarah Bernhardt peony, named to honor the relationship between the grand, fully bloomed flower and its "baby sister" bud nestled on the same stem. This peony carries not only the legacy of its celebrated variety but also the warmth of a personal connection, making it a symbol of both nature’s beauty and familial bonds.
The signature elegance of the Sarah Bernhardt peony is on full display in the lush, ruffled petals of the main bloom, which unfurl in layers of rich pink, exuding softness and sophistication. Its petite companion bud, still tightly closed, offers a tender contrast, representing the promise of beauty yet to come and adding a dynamic balance to the composition. Together, they create a story of growth and nurturing, much like the name suggests—a blooming sisterhood.
The deep green leaves, with their smooth, glossy texture and delicate veining, frame the flowers beautifully, grounding them. The painterly background, a gentle blend of soft blues, creams, and subtle hints of peach, enhances the vibrancy of the pink petals while adding an ethereal, timeless quality. The simplicity of the scene places the focus on the exquisite structure and detail of the peony, allowing its natural elegance to shine.
Emotionally, "Miss Sissy Peony" captures not only the fleeting beauty of the beloved Sarah Bernhardt peony but also the joy of cultivating life and love. The tender relationship between the bloom and its bud reflects both the charm of this classic flower and the nurturing that happens between two sisters. For viewers, this image invites reflection on the quiet connections between nature, family, and the beauty of everyday moments, offering a sense of serenity and inspiration.

My mom loved the peony photograph. She opened it on Christmas day and said, "Oh my, this is gorgeous!" It's now up on her wall where she can enjoy the photo and the memories it evokes of her grandfather, who grew an abundance of peonies in his small garden. Thank you!

I hung my prints last weekend and love them in the guestroom! We are now going to paint a light green to sort of match what you display on your website.
I received mine! It's absolutely beautiful Christina!
I purchased the sunflower print and I hung it up in my sunflower bathroom! It looks beautiful!
I purchased a still life with flowers from Christina and it is absolutely stunning! Christina has a magic touch with her still life arrangements and amazing eye for color and detail. I can't wait to frame this and hang it in my bedroom.
I have purchased two of Christina’s prints, one of gourds and one of still life with flowers. They both are prominently displayed in my home! I have also enjoyed her greeting cards. Her eye for beauty is always reflected in her work.
She manages to create images fit for any occasion or mood. The whimsy of some of her work (miniature people with food) always makes me smile; and the her current flower series is simply captivating. I love that she is bringing her years of professional training to creating such beautify images - somehow she captures the magic in the moment.
Christina brings her expert photography skills to her new 'fine art' line and the photos are just gorgeous. Check them out!
Christina has such a wonderful eye and a love of food and flowers that comes through in her work. I've purchased gorgeous cards and prints for myself and as gifts, and I like the variety of sizes that are available. Her skill, artistry and joy are captured in each piece.
So, Doug bought me two pieces of Christina's art for Christmas: roasted, multi-colored carrots. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see that pop of color when I turn the corner into the dining room. Cheerful, homey, and looks delicious: just like we hope our home and hospitality are!

I knew when I saw Brown Sugar Beach at the gallery that it had similar colors, but didn’t realize that the color scheme would tie together so well with our walls, floor, and furniture! At any rate, I’m really looking forward to enjoying and showing your artwork off to guests.
