“Paper Gardens”

My mixed media work over the last two years that you are viewing is my tribute to Florals and botanicals in a semi abstract style. Mixed media has released my inhibitions around staying within boundaries or expectations. I've ventured into places that are foreign to anything I have explored in the past. Some have commented to me “ I like your more realistic work you used to do !” and others have celebrated with me as I become someone new. Don’t we all morph into someone new in different chapters of life in many ways ? We grow, we age and we find new paths of creating our reality.

“I have lost who I was, and I am becoming who I am”

This group of 38 is a collection of semi abstract florals and do not have an individual story behind each piece. They tell a story as a whole and each piece was done intuitively. This is my growth and exploration as a Mixed Media Artist. They each have a name but they are a Garden as one. My collection of mixed media art journals were created by upcycling used thrift store books and homemade journals . They are an important part of the journey and are a constant in my art practice.
