BLOOM - 2024
Some work from this series is available for purchase through Corey Helford Gallery. Link below
This series opened in May of 2024 as a solo exhibition in Los Angeles at Corey Helford Gallery. My “bloom girls” are usually paintings I work on between exhibitions. They start as simple improvisations, playing with bold pigments and floral compositions. These women are verdant, ethereal; enveloped by clusters of cyclopean flowers. They hold court in pools of vivid colors and dappled light. Each figure poses in a reaching movement, suggesting a tranquil sequence of garden ballets. As they grew and deepened into a full series, they branched out into the other elements; earth, wind, fire and water. What began as an ebullient bouquet of color and motion flourished into a study of the eternal feminine energies in nature and the quiet intimacy of a woman in moments of profound stillness and reflection.
