In this vibrant collaboration, a mother and daughter weave together a tapestry of colors and emotions. The painting is a celebration of the female experience – a journey marked by both strength and vulnerability. The woman at the center, surrounded by a riot of flowers, embodies the power and resilience of the feminine spirit. Yet, her gaze, both direct and introspective, speaks to the moments of uncertainty and self-discovery that are an inevitable part of life. In this painting, we see the beauty that can emerge from the very places where we feel lost. Figure—Mags Munroe Flowers—Kristin Parone

Construction material is repurposed here and used as a substrate for a painting depicting a birthing whale. A somewhat formal composition, painted loosely, offers the viewer an opportunity to reflect on both the fragility of being and hope of renewal.

Summertime Tea

My still life paintings represent an invitation to conversation and reflection. The vessels in my paintings are from my tea pot/cup collection, which I started in the 1970s going to yard sales with loved ones. The vibrant colors are meant to spark a joyful feeling. The variety of cups represents choice and the blue bow hints at celebration!

Fruit Feast

The word ‘feast’ often conjures images of carnivorous platters of meats. As a vegetarian, my mind goes toward juicy succulent fruits. The egg cup depicts a rooster, yet he is not on the menu. The table-scape still life is also meant to be a feast for the eyes with busy fabric tablecloth and a floral bouquet including a large orange to represent the unexpected representation to the theme. Oranges are everywhere in this scene! The tea represents community, conversation, and connection.
