"Flowers make the most wonderful and worthy of subjects to paint and draw."
Flowers are themselves like works of art possessing line, form, color,
texture, pattern and design. Each plant has it's own unique personality to convey.
Some are striking, bold, and exotic, while other are more demure,
and pale in color. Wildflowers can look so delicte, yet bloom, flower,
and grow under the most severe environmental conditions.

Flowering plants form relationships with other living organisms, many symbiotic.
Flowering plants provide food, cosmetics and medicine. They are rich in mystique,
symbolism, legend and lore - the subject of poetry and token of romance.

The diversity waiting to be explored is a rewarding adventure which I hope to share.
It is my hope that through my plant portraits, others too may know,
(to quote Baudelaire), "The Language of flowers and silent things."
