While staying true to the original inspiration, these tools have blossomed in my imagination and I continuously envision unique ways to interpret them. In this painting I used as my framework a symbol of new beginnings – the common daisy. Seeking to address the balance between the natural world and mankind’s influence on it is certainly timely. It is my belief that we will need to apply every tool at our disposal to address this troubling issue, but I am hopeful that a collective resolve will flower.
