ABOUT THE COLLECTION

For this collection, No Green Thumb Required, I played with creating texture in my artwork by layering paint, using resist techniques and intentionally using shadows to enhance the effect created by the cut paper technique.

I was inspired by plants because they need simple things to thrive - food, water, sun and love. To me, the plants in my home are a constant reminder to stay grounded, remain present in my day-to-day life and go back to the basics when I’m overwhelmed.

I love to capture the beauty of both the plant and the vessel holding the plant because both are equally important. An empty pot is as boring as a plant in a plastic planter, but when both plant and a lovely pot are paired together, that is when the magic happens.

My wish is for my paintings to bring feelings of joy and the reminder to stay rooted to the earth, even in the chaos of the world.
