My focus and inspiration in my art is to capture the excitement and beauty of the light, movement, and colors in nature. I am fascinated with how light changes and moves in wind swept leaves, or across the ripples of water. I try to capture this in the colors and organic brush strokes I use.
My hope for this painting is to invoke a sense of peace and rest, by creating a type of habitat where the children’s butterflies can live.
Why butterflies? Its a reminder that it only takes one moment, where one person makes a discovery that brings about the change needed to change the world and find a cure. These butterflies are special, like the children (survivors of cancer) who painted them.
