"Miss Stoic Peony" is a fitting name for this striking Sarah Bernhardt peony, whose beauty shines all the more because of her resilience. The bloom, with its signature full, ruffled petals in soft, romantic pink, exudes elegance and grace, yet its story of triumph over adversity gives it an added layer of depth and admiration. Growing through a tangle of daylilies and honeysuckle in my backyard, this flower embodies the spirit of perseverance, emerging as a beacon of beauty despite challenging surroundings.
The tightly packed layers of the petals form a perfect, dome-like shape, while the edges softly curve outward, giving the bloom a sense of fullness and life. The soft pink hue glows with a natural radiance, drawing attention to the intricate folds and textures of the flower. The sturdy green stem and glossy leaves serve as a reminder of its strength, providing contrast to the delicate, almost ethereal quality of the bloom itself.
The pastel-toned background, blending soft blues and creamy whites with hints of warmth, adds a serene, painterly touch that enhances the peony’s quiet elegance. This minimalist setting allows the flower to take center stage, highlighting both its beauty and its remarkable story of resilience.
Emotionally, Miss Stoic Peony conveys a sense of triumph and quiet determination, celebrating the strength it takes to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions while maintaining grace and beauty. This image is a tribute to the enduring spirit of nature and a reminder that even in the most tangled or difficult circumstances, something extraordinary can emerge. For viewers, it offers inspiration and a sense of calm, as well as admiration for the understated elegance of the Sarah Bernhardt peony.

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!
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 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.
