All Flowers Have To Do Is Bloom

April 2021

This piece is a juxtaposition of fast and slow. In life we go and go and sometimes I stop and think of Georgia O'Keefe's words, "nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven't time - and to see takes time". So I thought of the idea to sculpt flowers out of my To-Do lists.

Upcycled Barn-wood Sign

One of my co-workers commissioned me to do this painting for her. There was a sign like it at the boardwalk she used to always visit and she especially loved that it was Springsteen lyrics! Made from recycled barn-wood. I even upcylced scraps of trim from when I redid my bathroom to secure the two pieces together in the back!
