“Fire Side Flower Child” is the artist’s reflection on growing up as an earth sign raised by two fire-sign parents who loved her deeply, even if they didn’t always understand her. They valued different things, moved at different paces, and lived in different emotional languages. Looking back, she can see how her childhood might have felt different if they had known how to nurture who she was becoming instead of shaping her into who they believed she should be. But they did what they knew, and they did so much right — they took her everywhere, exposed her to bigger possibilities, and showed her a world far larger than their home. She has expanded on what they offered, and those beginnings have shaped her in ways she now treasures. “Fire Side Flower Child” is both her gratitude to them, exactly as they are, and her acknowledgment of who she has become because of — and beyond — that early fire.
