The 5 Seeds: How We Create Your Legacy Together
Creating legacy art isn’t quick.
It’s intentional. Thoughtful. Built to last.
Every commission moves through five stages — what I call The 5 Seeds.
Each one plants meaning deeper into your story.
Here’s what to expect:
SEED 01: RESEARCH
This is where your story begins to take shape.
I study what holds meaning for you — memories, symbols, nature, colours, emotions.
I sketch, observe, and explore the patterns and textures that will become your visual language.
The foundation of your story.
SEED 02: DISCOVERY
We meet (virtually or in person) to understand your story.
I ask gentle questions:
– What do you love?
– Who are you honouring?
– What symbols already carry meaning for you?
– What colours feel like home?
By the end, I know exactly which elements will guide the artwork forward.
A conversation, not a transaction.
SEED 03: DESIGN
This is where concept becomes creation.
I translate everything we uncovered into a visual composition — geometric forms, flowing lines, natural symbolism, and gentle structure.
You choose how you want your story told:
The Full Narrative (every symbol visible)
or
The Abstract Essence (a close-up, emotional expression of one core element).
Where your story becomes art.
SEED 04: CREATION
This is where slow art happens.
I hand-paint your story onto wood — each layer merging with the grain beneath.
Gold leaf is applied by hand, sealed with care, and burnished to reveal its warmth.
You’ll receive updates along the way: photos, videos, and small glimpses of the process.
Every mark is intentional. Every detail is crafted slowly.
Art made by hand. Made to last.
SEED 05: COMPLETION
Your painting is complete — finished, sealed, and carefully packaged. If you’re local, I often deliver it by hand.
You’ll receive a written narrative explaining the symbols, choices, and meaning woven into the piece.
Because the story doesn’t end when the paint dries — it begins when future generations ask:
“Tell me about this.”
This isn’t décor. It’s a memory made visible.
