Flowers are universal in their language of love and beauty, and I always find a renewed sense of joy and gratefulness in the Spring and flowers and trees bloom, sharing their gifts with the Earth.
This collection of small floral paintings was created out of a need for continued tenacity and hope in this time of uncertainty. It felt imperative to not ignore the current pandemic situation, but to find a way, as an artist, to contribute.
15% of the sales from this collection will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. Every $1 provides 2.5 meals to food insecure communities in the D.C. region.

Update: Collection has sold out - thank you! You can view my available work here.
Recently I visited the house and gardens at Dumbarton Oaks, an historic estate hidden away in residential Georgetown in Washington, D.C. I was awe-struck by the grounds, so tree-covered among the hills that you forget you're not in the middle of the countryside!
I took several weeks in June and July and experimented with acrylics on raw canvas for the first time. I mostly work on wooden panel and paper in my current practice, and it's been years since I worked on canvas.
After nearly 4 years, I am finally re-exploring florals in a full collection!
