I Drew

This is as close to an artist’s statement as I could muster for my “show.” LoFi. Honest. Real. It’s less of a soapbox manifesto and more of a personal mantra that I aspire to. One day at a time.

Medellín, 2023. I was at the Botanical Gardens, completely overwhelmed in the best way — so much color and life everywhere I looked. But this plant is the one that got me.
Green on one side, purple on the other. Then the sun hit it and it turned gold. I had to paint it…and it has continued to inspire me to paint more flora. This will be one of the paintings that I’ll be sharing next month at for Second Saturday Ballard Artwalk on May 9th.
