flowers (artist statement)

Artist Statement: Floral Images

I love everything about flowers! The images I produce are not usually meant to portray a certain genus but are representational abstract forms. Often I use rich impasto marks applied with palette knives to have the flowers pop off the surface. Makes me want to take a sniff and see if they have supernaturally gained fragrance! The world is such a better place because of flowers!

To create my floral images I work in a wide range of mediums including oil and acrylic on canvas or panel, textile collage, sheet metal and ceramics.
Enjoy!
