From the artist:
My Sage Advice Collection was born from a journey through trauma to a better place.
We all have periods of stress, anxiety and calamity in our lives. What helped me move through that period is the basis for my Sage Advice Collection.
The notion is we can bloom where we are planted. During this unsettled period I have found an anchor to joy through my love of florals, flowers and plants in all shapes and sizes. So it was a natural evolution of my work that we would get to messy florals. While aspects of my life crumbles around me there was a joy to be found in flowers. I gravitate towards a cottage garden look and feel, less structure, more wild.
I find the combination of greens and purples particulary restful, yet with a playfull energy. I employed textured paste to give dimension, reflective of life itself.
I have been asked what flower is represented here ... it is what ever you want it to be. A highbred from my imagination, an ammalgation of wisteria, lupins, hollyhocks and more. Not grounded in reality, but created for a sense of joy and whimsy and somewhere fairies might feel at home. I hope it works for you.
While I attribute my own meaning to all my artworks I am super happy for the viewer to find their own happiness and meaning in the pattern, colour and texture. These elements in and of themselves provide calm, restful and restorative properties to one's decor.
