Note from the artist:
“The Sego Lily is a flower with quiet roots and a meaningful history. It’s the state flower of Utah and earned its name from the Shoshone word sikoo’, meaning “edible bulb.” During times of famine in the mid-1800s, pioneer families survived by digging up and eating the bulbs of this wildflower. Because of that, it became a symbol of grace under hardship—and of God’s quiet provision.
When I painted this piece, I was drawn to its simplicity and resilience. It’s not a loud flower, but it carries a deep, enduring beauty. This painting is my way of honoring the sego lily’s legacy—something soft, meaningful, and quietly strong.”
