interwoven. Spring + hope
With Spring comes light, with light hope.
Just as Spring is the bridge between the barren darkness of winter and the abundant warm sunlight of summer—Hope is the bridge between darkness and light.
Inspired by the hope of Spring, white tulips are stunningly beautiful flowers that symbolize hope and pure and perfect love—they also carry with them a message of forgiveness. And forgiveness is yet another bridge.

Terri simply asked herself -
If this is what I do, what can I do?
Terri believes in the underlying healing power of art - this is why she does what she does. She creates glass paintings to awaken emotions within us—emotions to inspire hope and uplift others.
her question.
"As an artist, what can I do to thank and encourage the wounded healers during this pandemic we're facing? In my own little way, what can I do for those who are selfless, tirelessly working,
making personal sacrifices within our hospitals, while we are safe within our homes;
those who are away from their families, while taking care of ours;
those who are holding the hands of our loved ones, when we cannot?
How can I say thank you and invite them to stop, if only for a moment, and take a breath -
to find a moment of peace?"
the answer.
And the answer came. It was so simple.
