This print is professionally reproduced from my original oil painting, "The Ascent of The Dragonflies". You can choose between a variety of sizes in a fine art paper print or gallery wrapped canvas. "The Ascent of The Dragonflies" is truly a project larger than life, and I am very happy to be offering it as a print!
PAINTING INSPIRATION:
Within this painting, you will find 11 dragonflies. Through the sparks of hope represented by these dragonflies, along with the renewing light of the sunrise, it is my wish that all families find a connection of peace, comfort, and strength while witnessing this painting. The original painting will live on the landing up to the top floor at Faith’s Lodge to honor Ben Ruedisili's life. Faith's Lodge is a retreat center in Danbury, WI, where those coping with the death or medically complex condition of a child can find hope and strength for the future. Here is a condensed story of this painting and how it came to be:
The Story
Anne Harbison and Steve Ruedisili’s story of hope and healing at Faith’s Lodge after the passing of their son, Ben, inspired me to create this original oil on canvas, “Ascent of The Dragonflies”. Through the use and the symbolism of light, my mission was to capture the spirit, youth and energy of Ben and other children who have passed ever too soon. While painting, I felt a deep awareness of Ben’s spirit with me. The dragonflies symbolize his, and the other children’s untethered spirits-- their wings so beautiful and translucent-- pulling forth and reframing the light. All gathered dancing, playing and soaring together.
