Bloom Before Decay

The hummingbird is about spending time with one of my grandmothers – we always spot these birds together. The daffodils signify my Welsh upbringing and the butterflies are inspired by the taxidermy ornament on my late grandmother’s kitchen wall, which I now keep. Similarly, the tulips are from a pot she used to have on her dining room table, which she always filled with fresh flowers.
