Memorializing A Beautiful Spirit ♥ Last Chance ♥

April 18, 2025 KATIE BERGGREN

This has been sitting on my heart, and I'm honored to create a painting to memorialize this lively spirit. I thought you might like to follow along, while I bring another angel painting to life, which will inspire comfort, memories, and be something to touch and hold.

A beautiful young soul, Autumn, left this world far too soon due to the cruelty and carelessness of schoolmates. Just 10 years old, she was full of light, joy, and spark. In March, she died by suicide after bullying; a devastating reminder of how deeply words and actions, and the world around them, can affect our children.

And how urgently children need our love,

attention, and protection.

This painting was lovingly commissioned by my dear collector, Morgan, who will be gifting it to Autumn’s family. I hope to capture her radiant spirit with warmth, color, and the joyful bubbly energy that Autumn carried, in a painting that exudes love, light, joy and energy for her parents ♥

Please, check in on the children in your life;

listen closely, notice the quiet changes,

remind them they’re not alone.

Stay close, and lead with kindness toward others; children are watching, feeling, and learning from us every step of the way.

Say Autumn’s name, take a moment to hold her in your heart, let her story move you to be gentler, more present, and more courageous in speaking up for those who are hurting.

Even one kind word can make a difference.

I also create angel baby memorial pieces, customized prints to download, print and give as quick but thoughtful gifts.

LAST CHANCE: reserve your spot for a custom hand-drawn portrait, each drawn with care, to capture the unique beauty of your story ♥ want me to include the ocean? A mountain? Specific flowers? A butterfly, dragonfly, ladybug or lizard?

Just let me know ♥ this $45 special ends Sunday and will come back next April.
