Dreaming in Bloom: Behind the scenes of my spring inspired art series

Each year around April and May, something magical begins to happen here in Estonia.
The air shifts.
The first signs of spring appear- soft and subtle at first.
The light changes, the sun begins to shine warmer and overnight the trees go from bare to blooming. One morning after rain, everything is suddenly alive- fresh, green and full of possibility. The birds return. The skies open up in that soft, hopeful blue. And slowly, color returns to the world.

This is the feeling I wanted to capture in Dreaming in bloom.

It’s a deeply personal series for me- a tribute to those fleeting spring moments that stir something inside. The fragrance of lilacs drifting through the air. The glowing light after an afternoon shower. The peace of a quiet walk with Prince through blooming parks. All of it fills me with wonder, every year.

A VISUAL LOVE LETTER TO NATURE’S RENEWAL

Lilacs played a special role this time- their soft purple hues and dreamy scent brought back sweet memories from my childhood. They’re a symbol of joy and tenderness for me. Just like the balcony I used to fill with trailing petunias each spring- a little ritual that made every corner feel alive and filled with care.

In creating this series, I worked with calming blues to reflect the vast spring skies, often paired with soft greens and purples to bring the feeling of blooming gardens. The blues give the paintings a feeling of freedom, calm and lightness- like looking up and breathing a clear spring’s day. I want each piece to feel like an open window, a moment to pause, a breath of fresh air in your space.

This isn’t just a series about flowers or seasons- it’s about creating a sense of emotional renewal, of grounding yourself in nature’s rhythm, even if just for a moment.

FOR YOUR HOME, YOUR HEART, YOUR PEACE

Every painting in this series is an invitation to slow down.
To reconnect.
To bring outside in- the color, the calm and the quiet joy of springtime,

Whether it’s placed in your living room, bedroom or a cozy corner, I hope the paintings will remind you of the beauty around you- and within you.

Dreaming in bloom launches on Thursday, June 12.
My email subscribers will get exclusive early access before the collection goes live to the public.
