Each of these paintings bears an ancient name, the name of our great grandmothers, strong women who bravely faced up to their lives. I wanted to pay tribute to this line of grandmothers and to Rose and Marguerite, my favourite grandmothers.

Reminiscent of the old postcards that were exchanged to share feelings, this expressive card has a charming vintage look. They bear old-fashioned names that evoke the strength and femininity of women, - all those wonderful women who have accompanied us and blazed a trail.
In the floral language of the Victorian era, roses were generally associated with sweetness, expressing feelings of affection and gratitude towards a dear friend or cherished family member.
