Katie Alband: Lavender

This painting both excites my senses and melts my heart.  Lavender is such a healing gift for humanity, but especially those of us with anxiety.  The scent can relax, its oils can be spread and share the healing properties.  The color has been my favorite since I was a little girl.  This delightful work is also special to me because of the artist.  I’ve gotten to know Katie Alband just recently.  We’ve spent a few days a week together over the past two months.  Thank you, Katie, for allowing me to purchase your painting to add to the LJ Friedrich Consultants art gallery. 
Artist’s statement:
After surviving a severe life or death open heart surgery at birth, Katie faces many challenges.  Her beautiful art is a way for her to express herself.  It is a window to her soul …  She hopes that you will enjoy it!
