Each reference is reimagined through Lisa’s own expressive layers of color, texture, mark-making, and mixed media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe almond blossoms carry an unexpected personal connection. Van Gogh painted his celebrated \u003cem\u003eAlmond Blossom\u003c\/em\u003e in 1890 to mark the birth of his nephew. More than 130 years later, Lisa’s own young nephew helped prepare this canvas before she began painting—a coincidence discovered only after the work was underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, the painting reflects on something Vincent could never have known: how far his work would travel beyond his lifetime or how many artists it would inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDear Vincent, the Sunflowers Still Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e is both a tribute and a reminder that while creating, we rarely get to see where our work—or our lives—will lead.
