The Butterfly Effect Purple Orchid

What if one decision could change the entire trajectory of your life?

That’s the idea behind my newest series: The Butterfly Effect.
I created three paintings of the exact same butterfly.
Same wings.
Same movement.
Same beginning.
But they don’t end up in the same place.
Because that’s what our decisions do.
One choice.
One encounter.
One yes.
One no.
One person we let in.
One person we walk away from.
And suddenly…everything is different.
The three backgrounds move from deep navy, to serene green, to vibrant purple—because the same person can take three completely different paths.
One can lead you to peace.
One to love.
One to success.
And another can lead you somewhere you never intended to go.
That’s the part of the butterfly effect that gets me.
The smallest things can create the biggest consequences.
And maybe that’s what I want you to feel when you look at these.
Not just a butterfly.
But a reminder:
Your choices are creating your life in real time.
🦋 Every decision is a wingbeat.
🦋 Every wingbeat creates a ripple.
🦋 And you don't always get to know where it's going to take you.🦋
Each butterfly is built with layers of metallic wax, gesso, oil, and gold leaf—then I let the gold burst out from the wings so it feels like they’re actually taking flight.
