Artist Comments
A bluebird takes flight above a delicate Icelandic poppy. The yellow petals radiate warmth and cheer, while the bird's shimmering feathers create contrast and capture the essence of spring. A checkered gingham background adds a playful touch to the scene, evoking a sense of comfort and nostalgia.

About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”
