Flowers are among painting’s most enduring subjects, 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. Through blossoms, foliage, fruit, and aquatic forms, I 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. In each case, observed natural form remains the starting point. 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 brings a particular encounter with that cycle into focus and gives it lasting physical form. Through the changing visual languages of my own practice, these works continue painting’s long engagement with flowers and plant life. Their subjects remain compelling because they make beauty, structure, fragility, and time visible at once.
