Pasque Flowers

2024

This vibrant mixed media artwork layers multiple collage elements to create a richly textured composition centered around hand-drawn and painted purple pasque flowers with yellow stamens. The blooms are rendered with bold black outlines reminiscent of pen-and-ink illustration, rising on delicate green stems against a dynamic background that transitions from warm amber and golden ochre tones at the base to a cool sky blue in the upper register. The lower portion features striking diagonal black-and-yellow stripes that lend a graphic, contemporary energy to the piece.
