Dreamy Daisies, 2024, watercolor and acrylic, 15”x11”
“Dreamy Daisies” captures the gentle beauty of everyday moments. The light, open flowers suggest calm, resilience, and quiet joy, while the soft background creates a peaceful, dreamlike mood. The glass vase adds a sense of balance and grounding, its transparency letting the stems and water become part of the composition. Using watercolor and acrylic, I focused on balancing delicate detail with loose, expressive color.
Still Blooming, 2023, watercolor and gouache, 15”x11”
Still Blooming is a watercolor painting that looks at the beauty and fleeting nature of life through flowers. The tulips, with their soft pinks and bright highlights, represent growth, renewal, and emotion. The vase shows stability, while the loose background reflects the unpredictable world around us. The mix of clear petals and blurred surroundings mirrors how life can be both certain and uncertain. This piece celebrates the small, meaningful moments of beauty we experience every day.
Fluorescent Flora, 2022, watercolor, 15”x11”
“Fluorescent Flora” captures the vivid, almost electric energy of nature in bloom. The bold blue petals draw the eye, symbolizing vitality and intensity, while the splashes of pinks, yellows, and greens create a lively, spontaneous atmosphere. The loose, flowing background contrasts with the more defined flowers, giving the piece a sense of movement and organic growth. Using watercolor, I focused on layering bright, color with expressive brushwork to evoke both the delicacy and vibrancy of flourishing plant life.
