Petals – Still and Wild

In this collection, I explore the dual nature of flowers: the structured beauty of blooms in vases and the untamed poetry of blossoms in wild pastures. Both are worlds within worlds — the vase a microcosm of human intention and care, and the wild a boundless realm of nature’s chaos and grace. Together, they form a dialogue: one whispers of elegance, the other shouts of freedom.

Flowers in vases, meticulously arranged, mirror our need for control, our desire to create beauty that fits within our walls and lives. Their symmetry and stillness invite contemplation, suggesting that even in the act of being plucked and placed, there remains a deep connection to life and vitality. Wildflowers, however, remind us of what cannot be contained — the spontaneity, the flourish of color against untamed greens, the resilience that makes them bloom where they’re planted.

For the collector, these works are more than representations of flora; they are an exploration of duality — of human nature and wild nature, of chaos and order. A flower in a vase can bring serenity, grounding the mind with its quiet simplicity. A painting of a wild field, on the other hand, can inspire, reminding us of the beauty in unpredictability and growth. Together, they invite the collector to embrace both sides of themselves: the cultivated and the wild.

Hanging these pieces in your space is more than decorating; it’s cultivating a garden of perspectives. It’s about surrounding yourself with reminders that beauty exists in all forms — in the orderly and the untamed, in the fleeting moment of a petal’s fall, and in the enduring dance of flowers against the wind. Each painting is a portal, a timeless bloom that asks you to pause, breathe, and marvel at the wonder of what it means to grow.
