This series of colored pencil drawings were inspired by flowers I grew in a "pandemic garden." I had rarely drawn flowers, and became entranced with their colors, shapes, and energy. In the Northern California light it was too bright outside to study them, but in the studio their vivacity was exciting and undeniable. The freshness of garden flowers, from friends or my own garden, continues to inspire me in a different way than flowers I have selected for their shape and form.
