Artist Statement

My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the memories of my mother, Bonny, whose passion for gardening inspired my love for flowers. Her garden was a vibrant haven, teeming with blooms and life, a space where she poured her heart into nurturing each plant. Though I may not possess her talent for growing plants, I found my own way to honor her connection to nature through my art.

After losing my mother to cancer in 2021, painting became a way for me to keep her spirit alive. I create floral imagery, along with birds and insects, drawing inspiration from the garden she lovingly tended. Each brushstroke allows me to preserve the beauty she cherished and the tranquility of nature that brought her peace.

In my process, I focus on the softness and fragility of petals, using vibrant colors and flowing shapes to evoke a sense of calm and introspection. My goal is to invite others into this quiet space of reflection, where nature’s simplicity can be a source of solace and connection. Through my work, I seek to communicate universal themes of beauty, loss, and the healing power of nature.

Ultimately, I aim for my art to resonate on a personal level with those who encounter it. Each piece is a tribute to nature’s endless capacity to inspire and heal, offering a shared moment of reflection and emotional connection.
