The Flourish Collection of floral paintings came out of a season that was less than flourishing. I was tired, weary, and running on empty, so I decided it might be good for my mood to pack up the neutrals and get reacquainted with color. Not knowing where it would lead or if it would help, I embarked on a quest to fight the hard and heavy with color and creativity. I immersed myself in daily play and practice, making friends with whimsy and wonder once again. Out of those hours in the studio came a whole new body of work and a whole new passion to share it. With faith renewed and hope restored, I send this collection out into the world as harbingers of flourishing joy.
