Description
In 2005 when I first ventured into painting as an outlet for dealing with the debilitating symptoms of chronic disease, a diagnosis of ME/CFS, and all the losses that went with it I focused on macro flowers as my subject. As part of my healing process I'd been spending a good amount of time sitting or lying down in my own backyard which is filled with roses and other flowers. The experience of disease, loss and the slow pace of inactivity caused me to go inside myself, and at the same time it led me to go inside other things, to see details I had not before noticed. I saw much beauty in the lines, details and colors found inside flowers. It felt like a secret place that only shows itself to those who take the time to notice, and time was all I had. After painting macro flowers for a few years I met my art mentor, Ricardo Chavez Mendez, whose style �Curvismo� adds curved lines and magical backgrounds to realistic works. I worked many years with Ricardo to learn Curvismo and experimented with many different subjects that speak to me, enjoying something about each one. Enchanted Blossoms is my first attempt at marrying the two ideas, macro flowers painted in the Curvismo style. I hope to create more of these. The image speaks of the ever-evolving life in the desert, a seemingly unforgiving environment where extraordinarily beautiful living things show up. It is this contrast of flourishing in such harsh surroundings that I find intriguing, and this image represents the magic that occurs there.
