Color, Restored reflects the quiet, steady return of life that defines early May in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Featuring a collection of native blooms including trout lily, trillium, Virginia bluebells, jack-in-the-pulpit, blue violet, rue anemone, lilac, peony, bleeding heart, and American columbine, it serves as both a study and a celebration of what emerges after a long season of dormancy.

Rather than focusing on a single subject, the composition brings these flowers together in a shared space, mirroring the way spring arrives not all at once, but in layers. Each bloom carries its own timing, its own rhythm, yet together they create a landscape of renewal, one that feels both soft and resilient, as color gradually finds its way back into the world.
