Garden Variety is a bold and playful celebration of fresh beginnings—an exploration of growth, possibility, and the beauty within transformation. Inspired by flowers grown in my own garden, this series captures the juicy shapes and vibrant energy of nature’s blooms, layering them with abstract forms, painterly drips, and dynamic gestures. In addition to digital painting, I incorporated color pencil, gouache, and markers into the works, creating a rich, tactile multimedia experience that merges the organic with the abstract.
At its core, Garden Variety is about planting seeds—both literally and metaphorically. It invites viewers to embrace the potential of new starts, to dream big, and to explore the boundless possibilities that come with fresh perspectives. Alive with color, motion, and energy, this collection is perfect for collectors seeking art that radiates vitality, transformation, and the joy of endless possibility.
The works are rich in color, bold in energy, and layered with meaning, capturing the interplay between vulnerability and vitality. Silver Linings speaks to the universal human experience—the longing to be held, nurtured, and inspired by the beauty of the world, while also finding the courage to radiate that beauty outward. Designed for collectors seeking art that transforms spaces and evokes joy, this series serves as a celebration of abundance, an homage to nature, and a call to live vibrantly and unapologetically.
When creating these works in gouache on cotton rag, I applied the paint with a very gentle hand, allowing the brush to lead the way. This intentional softness in my process mirrors the meditative act of surrender, where control is balanced with trust in the unknown. These images move beyond stillness, embodying the raw, blooming energy of life. They are about transformation, growth, and the interplay between beauty and boldness. Blooming Transcendence invites the viewer to contemplate the power of creation as a meditative force, where art becomes a gateway to something deeper, more profound, and endlessly alive.
