“Unstoppable,” is an oil painting that boldly challenges forces that undermine democratic values and silence marginalized communities fighting for equality. Across Ahern’s over 50-year career in business and the arts, she has fought against the systematic subjugation of women’s voices and independence, refusing to accept the institutional barriers designed to limit women’s power and self-determination.

My New World – Anemone Redux

36×36″ Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This oil painting creates a compelling fusion between earthly botany and cosmic wonder. The central anemone bursts from the canvas with the energy of a solar flare, its petals curling like waves of stellar energy. The deep purple and magenta palette bridges the gap between garden blooms and nebulae, while the flower’s center resembles a dark cosmic body surrounded by scattered stardust.

The background’s atmospheric swirls blur the boundary between floral study and space art. This deliberate ambiguity invites viewers to contemplate the connections between microscopic and macroscopic natural forms, suggesting that the patterns of nature repeat themselves from the smallest garden flower to the largest galactic structures.

Cosmic Peony Power

30×30″ Gallery Wrapped Oil on Canvas

“Cosmic Peony Power” is a captivating 30×30-inch oil painting that intertwines nature’s beauty with cosmic symbols. The focal point is a single peony, its vibrant heart a fusion of yellows and oranges radiating outward. This blend of realism and abstraction creates a dynamic tension, suggesting a connection between the flower’s microcosmic form and the universe. The swirling colors and patterns evoke a sense of perpetual motion, inviting exploration into the harmony between nature and the cosmos. The painting celebrates the bloom’s vitality and the universe’s mysteries.
