2026 Annual Peony Sale

2026 Annual Sale opens May 20!

A peony is not simply a flower. It is a study in transience, generous in form, complex in color, and almost gone before you have truly seen it.

This season, I worked exclusively from live blooms, painting each one as it opened. Each brushstroke followed a moment where the beauty wasn’t just in the flower. It was how each petal was curated, and how the light settled differently at each stage, to the subtle shift from cool petal edge to warm center, to the particular fullness a peony carries at its peak. 

My work has always been rooted in the belief that flowers, painted with care, offer something beyond decoration. They slow a room down. They return you to the ordinary beauty that is easy to pass by. You do not need to be a collector or know anything about peonies to feel what one of these paintings does in a space. You only need the urge to feel the change. 

In celebration of this season's work, I am making a curated selection available at up to 50% off my studio pricing, for May 20th through the month of June. This is a rare opportunity to collect original oil paintings at an accessible price point. Once June ends, so will the sale. 

The peonies have already begun to fade. The paintings remain.

Warmly,
Yelena
