Pink Dahlia

Pink Dahlia, stained glass mosaic on board, 17.5" x 17.5" (19" x 19" framed), 2014  ~SOLD  

The Dahlia originated from the mountainous valleys of Mexico. It often symbolizes staying graceful in challenging situations. The pink and purple in this flower further imply at kindness and grace. 

I am particularly drawn to this flower because of its full body. The endless layers of the petals give it a strong presence. This bloom stands out from the crowd and is a reminder to make your own unique path in life. Every time I see a dahlia, I am completely mesmerized and reminded of the world’s beauty

 

Below is a glimpse into my process.

 

 
Cutting and Arranging Process:  All the glass in the mosaic is hand cut by me.
