This bouquet of peonies was given to the artist as a gift when leaving one phase of life and about to embark on another. At first, it represented a symbol of new beginnings with the beauty of their youth and freshness. As the flowers began to wilt over the weeks, they took on an elegance and an acute maturity as their demise became palpably inevitable. They began to serve as a reminder that all things are transient, nothing lasts, and that is the gift behind it all. A year after taking a photo of the bouquet did she decided to give it a new life on canvas. The painting is actually painted on top of an older experimental work that the artist had played with with years prior. The texture of the older painting coming through beneath the new strengthens not only the textural quality of the piece, but also the idea that life and beauty is a process, often with many layers.

My roots belong in Windsor Ontario, known as the city across the river from Detroit. There, the insatiable hunger to produce artwork began. My first oil painting was of iris' in a wine glass. I told my mother I wanted to paint Iris' and she insisted that we walk to a wealthier neighborhood, convinced we would find them there. She was correct! Seconds after spotting some, she was knocking on a strangers front door, asking whether we could clip some of their flowers. To my shy disbelief, they weren't bewildered, but rather overjoyed to help a young artist with her painting! I live in Toronto now, but the constant madness of getting the perfect painting continues, each piece with its own fantastical tale. Now the paintings environments come from further than the 'wealthier neighborhoods,' but from all of the world during my travel escapades. There is never a terrible time to yell "quick, pull over the car!" or ask "can you hold my purse while I crawl into this tiny space and get a picture of this weird thing?" The perfect shot for a great painting could happen at any moment.
