How it Describes “My Elmira”
As we have navigated such a dark year this painting was created to develop an uplifting sense of hope. With the combination of fresh local sunflowers and side-of-the-road bouquets, I breathed in the beauty of our countryside and community while painting and knew everything was going to be ok!
Artist Statement
I was taught at a young age to appreciate the simple things in life. The colours of a rainbow, the fields of dandelions and the seeds that grew into beautiful flourishing plants. Those moments produced a deep sense of love, peace, joy and hope for the future. So when I started to express myself through painting it was a natural progression to share those emotions through painting florals. Every stroke of vibrant colour, texture and movement I am compelled to remind others of those simple moments in life. With every bloom painted is a future to look forward to.
