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.

Artist Intention
All the art I do is an attempt to bring some kind of healing into the world.
Art feels like a way to share the tools, inspiration and community needed to begin and sustain our unique path toward reaching our full potential. Even if the expression of a work reaches one person at a time, it feels like the slow work needed to build the momentum to create the world we hope and dream.
When the plants drawn from nature in my 100-day project became the Gratitude Blooming card deck, I realized how each person the cards reached (like each of these plants and flowers) is so full of beauty, wisdom and power in their own artful way.
