The Sakura or cherry blossom flower is a flower with many symbolic meanings, including contradictory ones. It often symbolizes both life and death, as its flowers have a short period where they bloom and signify renewal and new beginnings. This flower is a reminder of how precious life is. Capture the essence of a beautiful life lived by infusing the ashes of your loved one into the delicate petals of the cherry blossom.

Each painting is hand painted by me to order, using the ashes of your loved one or pet. I start by tracing the outline of your chosen flower onto the 9” by 12” canvas paper, and begin by mixing a small amount of your loved ones ashes with each color of paint. Your loved ones' ashes will be present in every aspect of the painting, although not visible. The painting is then finished with a protective varnish, to seal the ashes and the painting. Every painting will be slightly different, with variations in color and texture.
