We are not meant to slumber through our gorgeous, lush lives.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>I want my art to feel intimate and generous, to create a sensory experience for myself, and for the viewer. The art is meant to linger in the delicate space of your psyche. As an artist, I want to create an emotional impression causing you to ask yourself what you might not be seeing on the surface.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lovely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big beautiful abstract-ish blooms!
