Artist Statement

My Dutch Master inspired floral art is a garden to canvas creation. Most of the
painted flowers started as seed packets, purchased for their distinctive, unusual colors and blooms. They were planted, nurtured and harvested from my gardens. I am enamored with the entire creation process, from soil improvement to finished painting, with all the successes and challenges in between. Most other elements came from local flower, fruit and vegetable farmers. These created gifts of the earth are then arranged in a floral still life and painted in representational style. My goal is to share the peace, joy and clarity nature inspires, and see that it is good.
