The collection began with a photograph of a yellow and green field, with trees in the distance and beautiful blue flowers seeming to bob in the breeze. I was drawn to the composition and the colors, but even more to the feeling it gave me. Looking at the photo, I could almost imagine myself standing in that field, swaying among the grasses and flowers.

I wanted to recreate that feeling—not simply reproduce the scene, but explore it from different perspectives and through different artistic approaches, experimenting with mark-making, painting techniques, and various mediums. I’ve really enjoyed creating this collection. There has been something about it that simply feels good to me and I have a feeling these blue flowers may continue to inspire me beyond this collection.

Please enjoy the featured collection of original mixed-media paintings titled, Blue Flowers.
