Explore our themes

The drawings and handwritten themes in the Gratitude Blooming Notecard collection are born of subtle moments of connection Arlene had with the plants in her garden while drawing them during a 100 day project.

These are the stories behind each of the drawings including how each word was paired to each plant.

We invite you to make meaning from your own interpretations of the artwork and enjoy the conversations we had on our podcast around the themes.
