Artwork Story:
In the American South, there’s a belief: when you see a cardinal, it means someone you love is visiting from the other side. In this piece, their vivid red wings flutter through tangled hair and memory, perched among branches of beautyberry—messengers from beyond.

Growing up, my mother called my unruly hair a “bird’s nest.” One day, the metaphor clicked: the messiness of grief, the visits from cardinals, the ache for those who are gone but still held close.

My Loved Ones Are Always With Me is a tribute to that quiet haunting: the way memory clings, comforts, and reminds us that love doesn’t end, it transforms.
