“政府是必不可少的——它是花朵的茎，而不是花朵. 最好的政府是无趣的、渐进的、有序的. 这是稳定的改革，而不是令人兴奋的变革. It’s keeping the peace and promoting justice and creating a background setting for mobility, 但它并没有传达意义.——大卫·布鲁克斯

My work has always been diaristic illustrating the changing times of my life as a woman, 妈妈, 管理员和社区组织者. 过去的几年很艰难, 处理世界的混乱, 累积的悲伤, 健康问题和年龄的增长. I’ve create art to understand things better and my more recent response is trying to figure out a world that doesn’t make sense to me anymore. 所以随着世界的变化, I decided I needed an imaginary vacation to Jamaica and shifted directions to sail towards warmer, 深情的水域, pivoting to a new groove and an emotional balance that registered with- less stem, 更多的花.

花有这种力量.

I wish I could extract these flower powers and inject them into the never-ending list of things that are devastating, 在我们的社会中灵魂破碎. 《博彩平台推荐》系列象征着爱、美、坚韧和死亡. The Flowers soon took me into different directions with series and variants by way of printmaking, 绘画, 混合媒介拼贴. 制作鲜花成了一种深沉的游戏和痴迷. 主题从萎缩和匮乏转变为蓬勃发展的快乐和富足. I listened to Reggae and it was the edifying music that inspired the titles of each work are taken from uplifting songs by Peter Tosh, 鲍勃·马利和其他人.

The Flowers tapped my own Oxytocin-wellspring through an immediate and direct process that produced pure enjoyment and delight. I had been starved for beauty and making this work was a salve for me and surprisingly for others too. Flowers provided me with an energy and an unfiltered language that resuscitated my excitement in the studio. I painted over old works created in the pandemic and that became symbolic of the passing of stressful times. The flowers turned into portraits related to arrangements and centerpieces, 标记对我和他人重要的事件. 对称, color and smell of all the flowers around me created such a sensory experience that made me want to obsessively just keep making more and more.
