I have made my living for the past 20 years as a florist specializing in wedding design. It has allowed me to work with some of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations.
Although I no longer work as a florist, flowers are still a huge part of my life. I love to paint them and many of my paintings include flowers in the landscapes as well.
The colorful nature and infinite varieties of flowers has fed my craving for delicious color. Now, as I concentrate on painting, I find I need to use plenty of color to feed that same craving! I seek out especially colorful scenes to paint. I also love the geometric nature of flowers and the symmetry. I often turn complex geometric shapes that I draw into elaborate painted abstract flowers. Look for my coming blog entitled "Dandelion Dreams". In spite of having worked with a huge array of different kinds of flowers, I still love to paint dandelions! Go figure!
