{"product_id":"mother-natured","title":"Mother Natured","description":"\u003cp\u003eEllena is an emerging Brisbane-based fine artist who works primarily with rescued and acrylic paint on canvas. Following two strokes caused by injuries sustained in a fatal bus accident, Ellena was forced to leave her career as a senior user interface artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing the profound challenge of rebuilding her independence and identity as a professional, a wife, and a mother, Ellena turned to art. Creativity became both therapy and purpose throughout her 18-month recovery, supporting her journey to regain vision, cognition, vocabulary, and hand-eye coordination; ultimately reshaping her view of clinical spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by flora and fauna, Ellena's vibrant works bring warmth, humanity, and occasionally gentle humour to clinical environments, transforming sterile spaces into places of comfort and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow Ellena on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ellenajadecreative\/\" title=\"Follow Ellena on Instagram\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ellenajadecreative\/\" title=\"Follow Ellena on Facebook\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and check out her \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ellenajade.com\" title=\"Check out Ellena's website\"\u003ewebsite\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 'Mother Natured', I celebrate feminine strength and our innate bond with the earth. Crowned in resilient native flora such as banksias, proteas, and eucalyptus leaves, my subject embodies endurance. I used recycled paints to honour sustainability, with this piece also focusing on inner ecology. Her calm, unguarded gaze reflects the mental health journey - finding grounded peace in the face of harsh conditions. We are not merely observers of nature; we are nature, capable of deep healing and continuous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ellena Jade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46098460967119,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3073\/3007\/files\/ELLENA-3.jpg?v=1788742704","url":"https:\/\/recoveredfuturesshop.rfq.com.au\/products\/mother-natured","provider":"Richmond Fellowship Queensland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
