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. |
