Arabella's Arrival

ARABELLA'S ARRIVAL Acrylic, Collage & Pastel on Birch Wood Panel | 30" × 30" | 2026

Some arrivals change everything.

Arabella's Arrival was painted to mark the announcement of a new life — that particular kind of joy that is soft and enormous at the same time. The kind that makes the whole world feel briefly, perfectly suspended.

A magnificent swan rises from still water, wings lifting as if mid-announcement, her feathers luminous with gold, cream and the faintest blush — collage fragments catching the light beneath layers of paint and pastel, giving the surface a richness that shifts as you move around it. The water glows aquamarine and sage, scattered with orbs of soft light like bubbles rising to the surface, or the first moments of something brand new breathing air for the very first time.

There is ceremony here. And tenderness. And the particular stillness that comes just before everything changes.

Painted on a deep birch wood panel — no frame required, the 1⅞" depth gives the work a sculptural, gallery-ready presence straight out of the box.

✨ A Note on This Work

Arabella's Arrival would make an extraordinarily meaningful gift for a new parent, a nursery, a family home or anyone who believes that a birth deserves to be marked with something truly beautiful and lasting.
