My fascination wtih
sunflowers began when I
first observed the
sunflower fields on local
farms.

Later I planted my first
sunflower garden and
discovered that there were
many different varieties .

When I study a sunflower I
imagine it has a distinct
personality. I try to convey
this in my artwork so that
the flowers interact directly
with the viewer.

Some are intimate
portraits of individual
blooms; others capture the
writhing stalks in a
crowded sunflower field.
