Artwork story:
There’s a lesser-known stress response in women: not fight or flight, but tend and befriend. In moments of uncertainty, we often reach for each other—for connection, for care. This painting is a meditation on that instinctive resilience—the kind that lights a candle even when the ground beneath us feels unsteady.

Hands emerge from Lowcountry botanicals: Bee Balm, Queen’s Delight, Sweet Everlasting, Passionflower. These medicinal plants have long histories as healers, especially in Southern herbal traditions. Here, they grow not just as flora, but as guardians and quiet collaborators in recovery.

This is a portrait of care offered freely, even in darkness. Healing doesn’t have to roar. Sometimes it just reaches out, gently, and says, “I’ve got you”.
