Principally producing abstract floral work in acrylics, the complexity of creativity brings both enjoyment and challenge. In considering this body of work, the intent is to lure viewers into recognizing the work’s emotional call to linger. To linger with a smile, a memory, a yearning to live with it in their home, or in a public place they'd find suitable for others' enjoyment as well. The hope in viewing “Painting the Power of Flowers", is that a love and mastery of color is evident as well as provocative. Departing from reality or specificity, flowers, ribbons, movement, dance and romance in these paintings provide life and energy to the everyday.
