Video: The Promise of Spring

Sarah Oliphant, one of the art world’s most prolific yet best-kept secrets, has built an extraordinary legacy through her work. Her daughter, Violet Oliphant-O’Neill, now faces the challenge of forging her own artistic identity in the shadow of her mother’s success. While Sarah encourages Violet to follow her heart and “find her own adventure,” Violet struggles to balance the weight of the Oliphant legacy with her deep desire to stay true to herself. The Promise of Spring explores the tension between honoring family traditions and creating one’s own destiny.
