About the Item

Artist Comments
A poppy in full bloom pairs with a closed bud. Written fragments from books layer the background, adding a narrative depth to the composition. The vivid red contrasts sharply with the grayscale text, symbolizing resilience, remembrance, and the enduring strength of beauty amid thought and memory.


About the Artist
Artist Maria Karla Watson explores the emotional language of nature in her paintings and drawings. Birds, flowers, and handwritten texts appear throughout her work. “They are gentle reminders of life’s fragility, its tenderness, and its quiet strength,” says Maria. She studied fine art and credits her teachers with helping her build a strong foundation, though it was perseverance and faith that shaped her path. Maria works in her tidy New York City studio while listening to her favorite music. When she’s not making art, Maria finds inspiration on long walks, in books, and through time spent with her family.
