FLORA

Flora is a show that I curated with paintings from 3 different series. The work was created between 2022-2026. I have arranged them here as you would move through the show from room to room. I have modeled my shows after the galleries that you find on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Each room contains information about the paintings that you find in that room.

The work in the show is primarily painted from a memory, a feeling, or an event. Occasionally I will use one of my own photographs as a source. The photograph is primarily being used to trigger a memory and then put away. It is my desire to use the medium of paint to tell a different story than I can tell using writing or photography.

While I am aware of the art world’s “disdain” for floral paintings, I would be remiss not to document something that has been such an integral part of my life. Plants, flowers, and my surroundings show up in every painting I create. I hope you will feel the energy that I pour into my work.
