Artist Statement
As a society we have the notion that a perfect and undamaged flower is the most beautiful. However, as an artist when walking through meadows covered with an abundance of wildflowers, I am drawn to the wilting, the trampled on, and the damaged flowers. It is their unique characteristics that make them the most beautiful and interesting to draw or paint. With this piece, I hope that others too will find beauty in the not perfect flower.
