Artist Statement
I am a painter and illustrator currently residing in San Francisco. I am especially interested in painting floral imagery, in both representational and abstract ways. The process of painting flora leads me to the place where I can be open and fully expressive in my emotions. Flowers often act as a metaphor in my paintings showing the path from birth to death.
“Nursery” was painted without any live or photo references. I relied on emotions from my memories. My focus was on creating a soft and warm environment that would invoke a dreamlike state. Flowers bloom and similarly individuals bloom as they are connected to one another with love. A nursery feeds life into the flower which is going to become a nursery itself and repeat the cycle.
