Wild Geraniums

2022

This vibrant mixed media work layers hand-drawn pink blossoms atop a richly textured yellow-green ground, incorporating fragments of sheet music, vintage road maps, a postage stamp, and poetic text to create a densely layered visual narrative. Bold diagonal black stripes in the upper right corner introduce a graphic, almost industrial tension that contrasts beautifully with the delicate organic florals rendered in ink and paint. The flowers themselves — wild geraniums --are outlined in confident black ink with soft pink and lavender washes, while dark foliage grounds them with earthy, gestural brushwork.
