The Story of the Pomegranate

The artwork depicted on this Website is a stylized pomegranate branch. The pomegranate holds special meaning for Elaine. Traditionally, pomegranates are a symbol of abundance and good fortune. Their copious seeds represent rebirth, growth and connection. In art, the pomegranate is often a symbol of hope. A seasonal fruit, the appearance of pomegranates heralded the arrival of summer, light and warmth.

Elaine believes that the clients she serves, like pomegranates, are precious and multi-faceted, full of hope and health that is just waiting to be realized and expressed.
