In the Flow of Bloom

CHICAGO – MAY 8th – The Chicago Grand Gallery is excited to present "In the Flow of Bloom," a solo exhibition featuring the works of Ukrainian-American painter Tatiana Jackson. This collection invites viewers into a contemplative space shaped by Tatiana's passion for Impressionism and her deep connections to faith, family, and nature. Each piece in this exhibition was created during a state of flow—the immersive and joyful experience of being completely present in the creative process. Whether through quick alla prima sketches or large figurative compositions, Tatiana paints from a place of spiritual unity and emotional clarity, using flowers as recurring symbols of life, transition, and grace. "In the Flow of Bloom" extends beyond aesthetic appeal; these paintings serve as emotional timestamps—capturing a day, a memory, or a moment of blossoming. Tatiana’s home, which often doubles as her studio, becomes a dynamic environment where art and life blend seamlessly. Her color palette shifts from room to room, following the light—just as her inspiration arises from the presence of children, books, gardens, prayer, and moments of quiet reflection. “Time stops,” Tatiana writes, “and my self-doubting ego dissolves.” Through her brushwork, viewers are invited to experience that timelessness—a state that many may recognize but seldom take the time to inhabit. In a culture that prioritizes productivity and perfection, "In the Flow of Bloom" reminds us of the quiet power found in being present, observing, and appreciating the beauty of the world as it exists. This exhibition honors Impressionism not just as a technique, but as a way of life. It offers a gentle yet powerful response to cynicism, celebrating the often-overlooked emotional depth of floral art and the enduring resilience of beauty rooted in humility, faith, and everyday experiences. Join us at the Chicago Grand Gallery for the opening reception of "In the Flow of Bloom" on May 8th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Step into an immersive floral world and experience what it truly means to create and live in flow.
