Hope and Artichokes is a fresh symbolic coastal-botanical piece created to embody warmth, welcome, and the resilient optimism of nature. The sunflower — long associated with hope, faith, and the ability to always turn toward the light — rises in golden tones, glowing against a vibrant pink backdrop. Surrounding it are green artichokes, painted intentionally to echo the shape of pineapples, the universal symbol of hospitality and invitation.
 
This piece was created in the same design-oriented spirit as Sunflower with Red Coral: bright, modern, tropical, feminine, and perfectly suited for homes with coastal influence or garden-inspired interiors. It carries both meaning and fresh visual appeal, making it an uplifting choice for entryways, kitchens, dining rooms, sunrooms, beach cottages, or modern Southern homes.
 
The artichokes add a playful botanical twist — a nod to tropical living, lush greenery, and the welcoming spirit of colorful coastal design. The interplay of warm coral, soft greens, glowing golds, and ocean-washed aqua tones creates an atmosphere that is at once soothing and joyful.
 
This painting radiates the feeling of opening your door and saying,
“Come in. You’re welcome here. Hope lives here.”
