About the Item

“Autumn Butterfly” is a lyrical, vertical abstract painting by contemporary artist Michelle Thomas. Created as an ode to change, beauty, and quiet resilience, this original work captures the fleeting, magical energy of a butterfly in motion—transformed by the warmth and richness of autumn. It’s a visual metaphor for graceful transition: the moment when things shift, colors deepen, and stillness meets movement. Rendered in a dynamic blend of burnt orange, deep rose madder, luminous gold, soft pink, and light green—with vivid accents of teal and black—“Autumn Butterfly” feels both grounded and uplifted. Swirling gestures and curved black lines dance across the canvas, evoking the fluttering motion of wings in flight. Each layer adds rhythm and emotional texture, celebrating movement, color, and personal evolution. With its tall, narrow scale and poetic presence, “Autumn Butterfly” brings warmth, energy, and elegance to any interior. Why “Autumn Butterfly” Stands Out: Symbolic, Seasonal Inspiration: Inspired by the natural beauty of fall and the symbolic metamorphosis of the butterfly, the painting evokes a feeling of transformation and quiet strength. Harmonic Autumn Palette: Burnt orange and rose madder offer richness, while gold, light pink, and soft green bring delicacy. Teal and black gestures provide contrast and balance, making the piece feel both expressive and composed. Elegant Vertical Format: At 42 inches high and only 6 inches wide, the painting fits beautifully in narrow wall spaces, transitional areas, or as a dramatic accent within a curated gallery wall.

"Wildflower" - nature inspired abstract painting, bright colors
By Marina Dunbar
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Wildflower" features hues of pink, yellow, orange, blue, green and purple. Marina Dunbar is inspired by the work of Paul Jenkins and Morris Louis. “I often think about painting in three dimensions, rather than two,” says Marina. “When engaging with the surface, I am considering how the arrangement and folds of the canvas will influence the composition.” Her process is as rooted in the physical construction of form as it is propelled by the medium’s inherent fluidity. The title of her exhibition – Fluent Form – refers to the practice of exploring opposing concepts, such as density and fragility, continuity and impermanence, within the same material. As one progression leads to the next, Marina studies the medium without premeditation, remaining sensitive to nuances within her process. Marina has introduced natural elements such as dry pigments and sand into these paintings. Sand is a physical object, yet its existence is a representation of the passage of time. It is the result of rock erosion, and it is a material that continually assembles into new patterns. In the Buddhist tradition, sand is used to convey beauty and ephemerality through the construction and subsequent destruction of mandalas...
