Vereen Gardens Series

16 x 20 Watercolor, acrylic, oil pastel and charcoal on French cream paper with deckled edges.

"When visiting family back home on the coast, we frequent the beautiful Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens. The 115 acre gardens are a hidden gem with trails that guide you to the salt marshes along the Intracoastal Waterway. As I wander through the coastal forest paths, I enjoy the dappled light and the beauty of the lush landscape surrounding me. These gardens hold special meaning to me and my family. A place we can escape to and reflect back on the family who traveled and lived here in times’ past.

With this series, my aim is to simplify my work. I intentionally have selected oil pastels and colored pencils to achieve a more loose effect—maintaining the focus on the mark making while creating layered texture. Each work captures the way I view and experience colors in the world."
