Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
Many floral pieces have a story behind them, to encourage viewers to feel seen and whole. The first piece I created with this idea in mind was an orange rose with a bee in it, to symbolize ADHD. The ribbon color for ADHD awareness is orange, represented by the rose. The bee represents the internal and external hyperactivity that comes with having ADHD.
I've also created a painting for depression, using a garden of blue iris flowers. The dark background and blue flowers represents sadness, and the green depression ribbon color was used in the petals as well. I painted them as a garden for people with depression, so they can know that they are not alone.
I also draw and paint other subjects, often on greeting cards, so others can share their love of art while connecting with those they care about.
