Flowers appear to me like the earth is smiling. In natural environments, like the garden for example, its soo full of life - bees collecting pollen, colorful butterflies and dragonflies, the blur of a hummingbird zooming by, and a variety of birds that fill the space with their songs. A lot of this activity centers around "the flower."

My floral paintings bring the outdoors inside, not only literally, but also metaphorically to a place where the viewer can explore and discover their own connection with the natural world.
