The Bouquet Series
This new series of paintings uses flowers as way to cultivate joy, optimism and strength. Flowers, whether grown in my garden or thriving wild in the Alaskan tundra, persevere and flourish despite all odds. These bouquets defy gravity as they outgrow their humble vases and expand into exuberant over-the-top celebrations of botanical colors and shapes.
