Superbloom - 18x18" on canvas, framed

Inspiration:

This painting is from a series celebrating spring, inspired by the fresh feel of stems, leaves, and blooms emerging from the earth.

I discovered my love for gardening in my late 20’s when I left my corporate job in NYC and moved to rural Western North Carolina to study textile design. After working for years in an office, all I wanted was to be outside, so I got a job as the assistant to the horticulturalist for the small town I lived in. Thus my education on all things gardening and my love for growing things began.

I still love getting into the garden and watching the progress of the blooms in our yard and around the neighborhood in the springtime. This painting reminds me of a zoomed in view (perhaps from the perspective of a bee or a hummingbird) of a pale petal unfurling, surrounded by lush greenery.
