Bloom
My body of work Bloom consists of oil paintings I created inspired by a love of combining organic and geometric shapes. I have found that while the natural world is full of organic forms, once you look closer, geometric shapes start to make their appearance. While painting, I focus on the composition of the shapes and colors to make these pieces as beautiful as possible. I embrace aspects of the flower such as bruises and tears in their petals and the browning of stems while also experimenting with canvas size and shape, typically painting the subjects on a larger scale then they are found in nature. I invite people to look closely at my paintings and try to notice details in the flowers that they might not notice with their naked eye.
