{"title":"BALLOON SERIES: WORLDS WITHIN","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI began painting umbrellas during a time of profound loss with the death of my father and my mother's Motor Neuron Disease diagnosis. It was a subconscious acknowledgement of my need for protection from all the pain that was unfolding, and while grief never goes away, the sharpest edges have softened with time. The recent transition from umbrella to balloon captures a shift towards something lighter. As my son beautifully described it, it is like a butterfly emerging from her chrysalis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bfc=\"\" class=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-epip=\"\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjT7pOejLGXAxWXiq8BHRJOOPsQi4wTegoIAggACAAICBAA\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgACAgQAA\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"lQkWXb\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-epip=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-epip=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bfc=\"\" class=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-epip=\"\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjT7pOejLGXAxWXiq8BHRJOOPsQi4wTegoIAggACAAICRAA\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgACAkQAA\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-block-AR2NCTC8xM1lKcG41O__judge_me_reviews_preview_badge_zM6CJ8\" class=\"shopify-block shopify-app-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jdgm-widget jdgm-preview-badge jdgm-preview-badge--with-link jdgm--done-setup\" data-id=\"8902226051224\" data-template=\"manual-installation\" data-widget-name=\"preview_badge\" data-impressions-tracked=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"somewhere-the-water-is-calm","title":"Somewhere The Water Is Calm","description":"\u003cp\u003eOil on LInen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e102cm W x 76cm H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnframed, Ready to Hang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA return to my umbrella series, this painting captures a delicate balance between the warmth and fire of the setting sun and the cool, calm waters.
