My ART Practice
Exhibiting The Nectar Collection
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is a testament to the delicate beauty and ephemeral nature of flowers, encapsulated in resin. I am captivated by the artistry found in nature's creations, and I strive to preserve and honor their essence through my work. By carefully selecting, cutting, and reconfiguring exquisite pressed flowers, I capture a moment in time when their colors and shapes integrate with my resin placement. Through a meticulous process, I encase these fragile botanical treasures in resin, allowing them to be admired and cherished for years to come in compositions painted with pigments.
The combination of dried flowers and resin creates a harmonious blend of organic and man-made elements, resulting in wearable compositions that tell a story. Each piece of jewelry becomes a wearable canvas, showcasing the intricate details, vibrant hues, and unique forms of the preserved blooms. The layered transparency of the resin amplifies the natural beauty, transforming each creation into a mesmerizing miniature world, where one can explore the intricacies of nature up close.
My intention is to evoke a sense of wonder, connection, and reverence for the natural world through my art. When creating, I draw inspiration from my beloved mother and her appreciation of the the little things in nature and life. By wearing these botanical compositions, individuals carry a piece of nature's artistry with them, inviting moments of reflection and appreciation in their daily lives. It is my hope that my creations serve as reminders of the beauty that surrounds us.
In essence, my jewelry art seeks to celebrate the fleeting beauty of flowers and offers a tangible connection to the awe-inspiring wonders of nature. Through the marriage of dried flowers and resin, I invite wearers to embark on a sensory journey, where they can embrace the timeless elegance of botanical art and find solace in the delicate harmony between artifice and nature.
