John's Inspiration

"Mother Hen" celebrates the nurturing spirit of a devoted mama hen. Known for her protective and loving nature, the mother hen is a powerful symbol of care and creation. Her ability to lay eggs, representing potential and possibility, embodies the essence of new beginnings and growth.

The symbolism of the mother hen is not lost on me, as it reminds me of my own mom. She has always been patient, nurturing, and endlessly supportive throughout my life. I feel incredibly lucky to have her in my corner, cheering me on as I navigate my creative path. This piece is as much a tribute to her unwavering love as it is to the universal energy of motherhood.
