White Prickly Poppy

2022

This vibrant mixed-media collage artfully layers acrylic paint, ephemera, and hand-drawn elements into a dynamic composition centered around three large white prickly poppy flowers with vivid yellow centers. The background transitions dramatically from a warm, textured amber-orange at the top to a cool, layered sky blue below, creating a striking visual horizon that anchors the botanical subjects. Collaged fragments of sheet music, road maps, printed text, and a postage stamp are embedded beneath translucent paint washes, lending the work depth and a rich sense of accumulated narrative.
