Cancer broke my heart…

When my friend Stephanie was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer.

I gave her an orchid to bring hope and love to her journey.

This inspired me to paint orchid portraits, which brought me hope and love as this story unfolded.

A vibrant, close-up photograph of a blooming orchid with delicate pink and white petals, set against a softly blurred background of an art studio. The image captures the intricate details of the flower and hints of paintbrushes nearby, evoking creativity and serenity.

I wondered if others had stories about orchids. I asked and stories came. It was then that Orchid Stories was born.

You may wonder what orchid stories have to do with you. We all are witnesses of catalysts.

Catalyst: an event or person causing a change.

Stephanie’s journey with cancer was the catalyst for me as I became the witness of that journey.

Creating Hope, Love and Legacy by sharing stories.
