A group of paintings completed in November 2023 and created during a time when the world feels like it’s descending in to complete chaos. These paintings have a childlike spirit, created using primary colors, finger painting and stick figures to emulate the way children make art. It was at once freeing and essential to create new works in this spirit of play and with a sense of joyful abandon.

A group of adventurous "modern floral" paintings using a base of lilac, lavender, creamy yellow and deep blue on linen, overlaid with a flourish of tangerine orange.

In Encyclopedia Botanica, the artist plays witness to how light and color transform the familiar landscape. Inspired by the impressionistic sensibilities of Claude Monet, these canvases capture the fleeting sensations of summer - foliage shimmering in hues of blue and green, filtered through memory of her earliest exposure to art: learning about Monet and Impressionism. That sense of discovery, safety, and familiarity continues to reverberate through these latest paintings.
