Painting flowers is my passion.  It is my way to express life with a belief in goodness, life with hope.  My intent is to capture a powerful composition, to set a mood, and to create an emotional impact.  Magnified images of flowers reveal an infinite source of detail.  Designing all of the painting space, showing the pattern of a leaf, the roundness of a bloom, I hope to evince the sensitivity of a flower.  I invite the viewer to see with me and to rejoice in my interpretation of nature’s beauty.  Using a geometric sub motif strongly accented with the dynamic effect of a curve enhances the vitality and creates a sense of energy and motion.  The shallow space has been divided into uneven segments.  Texture is shown with diaphanous use of color; thin transparent glazes of color offer opportunities for subtle texture suggesting delicate sensations.  Drama is achieved by using a full value range.  I believe the uniqueness of this work is using geometric elements as a vehicle to show structure and patterns of nature.  My language is using a fluid line and vibrant colors to show lyricism.
