Artist's Statement:

Embark on a visual journey to intimate parts of my garden where flowers and foliage sing their colors and choose their shapes and textures. Ever-changing as they grow, they mature and expire to become food and fuel for the next generation of gardens and artworks. Much like the flora in my garden, I feel my art is perennial.


Process:

My paintings start as actual flowers and plants which I sketch from life before transferring them to canvas. I try to capture the exact colors and patterns of each flower and present them in a way that will hopefully captivate the viewer, using layers of acrylic to build up the surface until each painting reaches it's maximum saturation and matches the incredible color one sees in nature.

I hope you've enjoyed the journey through my art
as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
