Artist Statement

Artist Statement:

I was never much of a doodler, but when I did it was always flowers. It wasn’t until this year that people starting pointing out my affinity for flowers. They had always been stuck in my art subconsciously. Flowers come natural to me, they are embedded in everything I do, but never the focal point. Flowers are safe, calming, nostalgic. My discovery of my affinity for florals lead to an exploration of my past, my mother, and a departure from the comfort of simple flowers. This project affirmed much of my childhood feelings, but also encouraged me to grow and confront the reality of a flower; a flower is a beautiful living organism that will eventually fade.
