The Peony Sisters is a deeply personal and heartfelt portrayal of nature’s unexpected gifts. This arrangement of Sarah Bernhardt peonies captures the abundant, lush beauty of these blooms while infusing the scene with a sense of familial connection and serendipity. The story behind the title adds an intimate layer of meaning: the blooms, discovered growing unexpectedly in my backyard, feel like long-lost sisters—united by their shared origin, graceful presence, and undeniable charm.
The peonies are arranged in a simple white pitcher, a humble yet elegant vessel that allows the flowers’ voluminous, ruffled petals to take center stage. Their soft pink tones radiate warmth and femininity, with each bloom showcasing a slightly unique texture and form, much like individual personalities within a sisterhood. One peony rests on the tabletop, its cascading petals and accompanying bud adding a natural, uncontrived element that suggests a sense of movement and life.
The composition is enriched by the addition of flowing greenery that trails across the table, bringing a sense of softness and grounding the blooms in their natural environment. The deep, moody backdrop in earthy green tones contrasts beautifully with the pink peonies, giving the scene a timeless, painterly quality reminiscent of classical still-life art.
The warm wooden table and softly draped fabric add layers of texture and a hint of nostalgia, evoking the feeling of a quiet, contemplative moment shared among sisters. The lighting, soft and diffused, accentuates the intricate layers of the petals and lends a subtle glow to the arrangement, imbuing the flowers with a sense of life and vitality.
Emotionally, The Peony Sisters conveys themes of connection, discovery, and the enduring beauty of nature. It celebrates the unexpected joy of finding beauty where you least expect it and the deep bond we feel with the natural world. For viewers, this image is a reminder to treasure life’s simple, spontaneous wonders and to see the interconnectedness in all living things.

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.
