Wimpy, full of pink, and lacking in character is exactly how this canvas art piece started. There is a beautiful magazine clipping that I’ve had for years – tropical pink background, soft creamy pink bowl, filled with exotic purple, pink, and yellow flowers. That was the inspiration, the starting point for this mixed media canvas. [...]

Artist Pia f. Walker works on a new art series that takes the abstract all around us and ties them into our everyday reality.

What harm could there be in simply, just, floating?

We are perhaps pushed to the cliff’s edge by our backgrounds, yet whether we decide to fly or jump is always, always up to us.

Somehow, in those sunrise seconds, I felt like the giant who had the world by the string, and I could twirl it any which way I wanted or could even dream of.

“Within the Calm,” a mixed-media painting by Pia f. Walker, is all about the quiet boldness within ourselves.

Within calmness lies the foundation of self-confidence, of being assured of one’s own personality regardless of the place or situation.

Each generation incorporate into their lives hundreds of years of living, of experiencing, of passing history and culture forward.
