THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS

BOTANICAL ONE Original Wood Block Print. 16 x 20”. $800.

FLOWERS HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON MY WORK SINCE CHILDHOOD. I AM INTRIGUED BY THE IDEA THAT EACH FLOWER REPRESENTED IN THIS SERIES MAY HAVE A DEEPER HIDDEN MEANING. AS TRANSCRIBED IN THE JOURNAL “THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS and the hidden meanings in art” BY JEAN-MICHEL OTHONIEL, I FIND INFINITE INSPIRATIONS FOR COLORS AND TEXTURAL LAYERS, AND THE DICHOTOMY OF THE PLANT’S FRAGILITY AND STRENGTH IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF MY OWN.
