This intimate series was created for the early summer group exhibition 'YOU ARE HERE'
and an invitation for each artist to reflect on their current place in their creative journey. For Jessie, this work marks a moment of pause and renewal, anchored in the season of spring and made from pieces she had just completed or carried with her from months or even years prior. It is grounded in both continuity and change, reflecting where Jessie is and where she feels herself heading towards.


Iris Rising presents a personal reflection on season, growth, and creative becoming.
Quickening
captures a sense of stillness just before movement begins. Paper daffodils, tulips, hellebores, fritillaria, iris, and muscari are arranged with quiet care in a French garden vessel. Fallen petals and speckled quail eggs surround the base, hinting at life waiting to stir. A butterfly rests motionless. It’s a moment suspended, as though the world is holding its breath. The soft glow of a mauve sky deepens the sense of anticipation, a visual metaphor for the quiet energy before the day takes form.
Available as a Limited Edition print and as a framed Gallery Edition.
Awakening
its companion piece, offers contrast and deepens its meaning. The same elements return, like flowers, eggs, butterflies, but the composition - and the lens - shifts. There’s more movement, more openness. Petals stretch upward, gestures widen, and the butterfly feels as if it might lift into flight. The light has shifted too, warmer and more alive, evoking the sensation of something just begun.
Available as a Limited Edition print and as a framed Gallery Edition.
