Flowers have long been among the most enduring subjects in painting, bringing color, structure, growth, and transience into a single visible form. Floral Studies brings together works from different periods of my practice, united by a sustained fascination with the richness and diversity of flowers and plant life. Each painting begins with close observation, and its visual language responds to the character of the subject. Blossoms, foliage, fruit, and aquatic forms become opportunities to explore color, texture, pattern, atmosphere, and the changing effects of light. Dense foliage becomes an ornamental field; water lilies organize the shifting surface of a pond; kelp opens into an immersive space of vertical movement. Across this range, observed natural form remains the point of departure. The paintings also register time. The beauty of flowers and plant life is inseparable from growth, change, and the brevity of each visible state. Painting concentrates a particular encounter with that cycle and gives it material duration. The works continue this long engagement through the changing visual languages of my own practice. Their subjects remain compelling because they make beauty, structure, fragility, and time visible at once.
