This series was inspired by the gardens along my lakeside property. After a long, cold winter, the spring colors renew and bring peace to everything around us. One of my favorite things in the spring and summer is to sit out on my deck or patio and enjoy all the beautiful flowers. They bring a sense of calmness and tranquility.

These contemporary abstract floral paintings are meant to bring that same sense of peace to interior spaces. I want people to feel joy when they look at these pieces in their homes or workspaces. Colors help set the mood in your home, and life can be stressful enough—our homes should be our refuge. We should love the things around us, and they should bring us joy.
