Eden Still Grows Original Artwork

16 X 12 Oil on Panel

the garden is not gone…
it whispers in soil dark syllables —

faith is the dark soil reach,
into what is not yet known.

hope is that waiting hush,
the breath between winter & bloom.

love is the tree rising steady,
wholeness spilling over.

Eden still grows —
in the hands that tend what fades,
in the quiet vow,
that nothing sacred
is ever lost.

Emily Shay is a contemporary artist whose work bridges timeless, classical techniques with
modern, abstract expression, helping to make sense of what is worth remembering. Known for her soft, neutral palette and elevated organic aesthetic, Emily’s art offers a sanctuary of hope, healing, and faith. Each painting is a subtle symbolic statement—an invitation to feel, reveal, and heal—reminding viewers of the enduring beauty found even in life’s chaos. Rooted in her own lived experience as a single mother, her work channels vulnerability into strength, crafting emotive visual stories that gently guide us back to wonder, connection, and the divine.
