Theme and Description
The first steps of a new beginning allow for open hearts and curious spirits in the adventure of life. A young child’s innocence and curiosity allow them to experience life with a sense of wonder. The world of nature offers many varieties of new life from the blooming of colorful flowers to the joy and energy of a young animal as they experience their world. New friendships and young love offer the excitement of what is to come. Allow your art to capture the essence of renewal, transformation, and fresh perspectives. Show us a unique story of growth, hope, or the endless possibilities that come with a new chapter.
