"From the Ashes" 9" x 12" Art Print (proceeds donated, this is a final sale item)

Artist: michelle @hearts_and_spade

Fire poppies bloom only in California - and only in the wake of wild fires. Their seeds lay dormant for years - needing smoke to germinate.

Their bright orange blooms rise up amidst the rubble - beauty from ashes - as symbols of hope, resilience and transformation.

We are so proud to share Michelle’s beautiful artwork with you. When she first shared the original piece that inspired this print, I immediately purchased it—eager to give it to my cousin, who had just lost everything in the fires. It felt like a small gesture that might bring even a little bit of comfort and joy.

That experience sparked something deeper for both Michelle and me. We wanted to create more moments of joy for those who needed it most, and also raise additional funds for the Los Angeles community. So, I asked Michelle to create a new painting inspired by the original, and we’re honored to offer prints of that piece here at baby braithwaite.

Our hope is that each print brings light, hope, and joy to those who receive it—and serves as a reminder that even from the ashes, beauty will rise again.

All profits from the original will be donated to The Red Cross & The Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
