71/2 ×11 1/2" Unframed. Acrylics on Deckled Edge Watercolor Paper.

Just in time for Spring! The "Jolies Fleurs" series is a captivating celebration of floral beauty, blending intricate patterns, bold color contrasts, and a nostalgic yet modern aesthetic. Each piece showcases an elegant arrangement of potted flowers, set against richly textured and ornamental backgrounds.

The interplay of structured, geometric designs with the organic softness of petals and leaves is meant to create a mesmerizing contrast, to draw viewers into a dreamlike garden where nature and design harmonize.

Earthy greens, delicate pastels, and vibrant pinks dominate the palette, evoking a sense of warmth and femininity. Some compositions in the series lean towards a vintage botanical feel, while others incorporate a contemporary edge through abstracted floral forms and dynamic linework.

"Jolies Fleurs" is more than a floral series: it's a poetic exploration of texture, form, and emotion, inviting viewers to find beauty in both the details and the whole.
