"Plum Blossoms"
Original artwork by Karen
"The five petals of the plum blossom flower symbolizes 5 blessings:
longevity, prosperity, health, virtue and good living"
"In the midst of winter, before snow melts and the swallow returns,
plum trees blossom onto the barren landscape, bracing the harshness
of winter and reminding people spring will come. The fragrance of plum
blossoms "comes from the bitterness and coldness".
Celebrated is the vitality of life, endurance through hardship and hope
that life will regenerate."
"Carmel Highlands"

"Transitions"
Original artwork by Karen
When I first painted "Transitions", I felt I was on the rickety bridge
about to fall into the rapids. I felt like I had no clue where the heck I
was going. Something just kept me going forwards and upwards. Over
time, especially after discovering ASCA, I find that I could relate to
being on the stairs at the side of the mountain, no idea what's on top,
enjoying the view and scared of the height. Now, I understand what
that beautiful place feels like. Sometimes I even sit in the gazebo.
