Yaquina Art Association artist, A. T. Ronan, Pedestal Show, June 1-14, 2024
After a three-year hiatus, A.T. Ronan’s creativity is back to greet the sunshine with a show dedicated to the inspiration of flowers. Her show is fittingly titled “Spirit Flowers”, a tribute to the joy even the simplest flower gives to the world.
Ronan said, “My renewed appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us, challenged me to find a vision that would stir my imagination to once again create art.”
Ronan’s designs use tiny blossoms, flower petals and leaves as well as rose buds that she presses and dries using various methods. To complement the real flowers, she made intricate hand-made specialty paper flowers and floral arrangements made from delicate crepe paper from Germany. And, especially for the show, she fashioned Lotus blossoms from card stock to recognize the powerful spirit in all flowers.
Additionally, Ronan will display two silk wreath arrangements. One wreath is made specifically for a bride and includes silk flowers from decorations from her wedding of 40+ years ago, which she is sure will bless the newlyweds with much happiness just like her husband Ed and she enjoyed.
The show also includes hand-painted, embellished vases and containers as well as candles and candle holders. A flower fairy flying in a Gazebo decorated with (you guessed it) colorful flowers, completes the show.
