“My Mother’s Garden” Mini Originals Collection

“My Mother’s Garden” Mini Originals Collection

By Alejandro Lauren (Wayde Clarke)

Inspired by the deeply touching poem below, this vibrant collection of mini originals is a tribute to the women who helped us bloom—our mothers, grandmothers, carers, and guiding lights. Each artwork is a joyful celebration of love, strength, and the beauty passed down through generations.

These hand-painted pieces burst with life—layered florals, radiant colours, and expressive mark-making. They are small in size but full of meaning, like a secret garden of memory and emotion. Whether for Mother’s Day, a memorial, or a heartfelt gift, each painting holds a message of gratitude and legacy.

Each original is signed and titled, with a unique energy and palette. The work in the image is a perfect example of the vibrant, textured style you can expect in this collection.

My Mother kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine,
And encouraged me to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came,
She protected me enough;
But not too much, she knew I’d need
To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example,
Always taught me right from wrong;
Markers for my pathway
To last my whole life long.

I am my Mother’s garden,
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love,
Reflected back from me.
