Wildflowers and Dots

2020–2023

I began the Wildflowers series in 2020, inspired by the meadows that surround my Vermont home and studio. Rather than painting them literally, I used the idea of a grid as a compositional framework—an ordered structure within which intuitive decisions about color, shape, and placement could unfold.

These paintings evolved slowly, layer by layer, balancing opacity and translucency, texture and rhythm. While they draw from natural observation, they are also meditations on time, harmony, and perception.

The Dot paintings grew out of this series as a continuation of those ideas—variations within a shared theme. Working in series allows me to explore subtle differences, refining the conversation between color, form, and the quiet energy of nature.
