I was inspired by Nancy's illusions of nature and light pastel colors. I tried to create a woman whose dress turns into an upside down flower-like shape. The gradual increase in width of the skirt is exaggerated for functionality purposes.  The skirt emulates a large outer layer of a rose. While I loved Nancy's connection to nature, I also loved the light green color she uses in many of her pieces. As a result, I painted the vines on the outside of the rose that same color. Because Nancy is so intrigued by the sky, I chose a light blue as the other color. Although the colors of the teapot are delicate, the woman stands strong, almost tank-like. The pot touches upon the strength and resilience of both women and nature.
