Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural, Lean into the Moment and Breathe by Gretchen Fogelstrom, captures a vibrant red flower reaching beyond its natural boundary, standing tall with quiet determination. The piece reflects the power of inner strength, both when it feels abundant and when it must be gently rediscovered. The artist invites the viewer to pause, breathe deeply, and stretch themselves toward belief, even in moments of doubt.
Fogelstrom is a self-taught mixed media artist and surface pattern designer. After a long career in sustainable development and education, she dove into her creative pursuits.
