My paintings of Garden Girls represent all females thrilled by all the beauty nature provides them. Whether they’re listening to the trees, admiring the change of the butterfly, or watching a flower bloom. They understand the concept of mother nature, live life in full bloom, and believe in a better tomorrow.

All of my Garden Girl paintings are created by using bright colors. Mixed media on canvas is my favorite choice when painting them.

Floral hair accessories are a must, and I am a big fan of flower crowns.

As a little girl, I would put jewel necklaces around my forehead or wrap weeds in a circle and pretend they were crowns.

I think obsession came after being the flower girl for my favorite aunt JoJo’s wedding.

And who are we kidding? I still play with flower crowns to this day. I’m sure you’ll notice them on my pony girls throughout these blog pages.

I think the idea of something beautiful around my forehead made me feel very important at that age like I was a queen of nature.

To me, the flower crown represents peace, imagination, and celebration of accomplishments.

When looking at my Garden Girls, I hope they remind you to take a moment to admire your surroundings. Take in nature, soak in the warmth of the sun, and appreciate the little things.

Thanks for being here!
