Over the past few months, I’ve been tasked with overseeing remote learning in the studio. While my duties have been mainly focused on kindergarten, we also have a 2nd grader, 6th grader and 8th grader in our home. Let’s just say, things have been a little bonkers around here with 4 remote learners and 2 adults working from home!

In the studio, kindergarten was happening in the background while I moved in and out of being absorbed in beautiful flowers and shapes in my newest series of paintings, Floral Collection: Art as Respite.

I used nature and the changing seasons as my guide while creating these paintings. Get lost with me in the luscious colors of oxblood and deep navy with a hint of cerulean blue. This series is about becoming immersed in colors and organic shapes.

Below you will find photos of the making of this collection.

My wish is that these paintings are a reminder to allow ourselves to get lost in the beauty of our surroundings and welcome nature to guide us. They are an ode to Mother Earth.

All nine paintings will be available for purchase in a few days on Thursday, October 29th @ 4 pm CST.
