Growing up, flowers bloomed wild and untamed in the pastures at my family’s farm and in my mother’s garden. Eighteen years later, at my father’s funeral, flowers became a symbol of love and memorial. Flowers represent nature’s beauty, memory, and love.

 

Nature is a source of solace and a reminder of individual strength. In my drawings, I present nature in the form of abundant flower blooms, rendered in colored pencils and spread across large sheets of paper. Each drawing depicts only one kind of flower (In this current project, the flower is the Hibiscus Syriacus). The representation of the flowers are repeated in varying sizes and from differing vantage points until the myriad flowers begin to exist together.
