- Notes from the Artist: Ever since I was a child, I have immersed myself in Nature. When I create images of a flower, I want to tell the story of that flower. I want to be able to recall my feelings while I am with that flower. For me, the lily represents beauty, grace and elegance, and, like all flowers, the seasonal passage of time. The strong towering stem appears from between the leaves like a baby being born. As it reaches for the sky the tip thickens and a bud is formed. The stem bows under the weight of the bud. A blossom appears. The rising sun transforms the blossom into pigmented petals, thick and translucent with radiating veins. When back lit by the suns rays, multiple pastel colors radiate from the petals mixing with the reflecting greens and blues. The stamen and pistil spring from the flower's base and are protected by the petals. They stand tall. At their end are slipper-like masses which are pollen laden. They sway in the breeze beckoning the pollinators. In only a few days’ time, the flower closes and withers. Another season passes. But now I can share this lily with others; it lives forever.
