One can quickly glance at a plant and see a simple collection of leaves, stems, and maybe flowers or berries -- nothing more, nothing less. Or, perhaps, a more leisurely observation can reveal a previously unnoticed depth of detail, lushness, pattern, or symmetry which brings delight to the senses.
These paintings attempt to capture the viewer's imagination, to inspire them to
look more closely at the natural world around them, and to find pleasure in doing so.
