Eden Prairie
Eden Prairie, named after the town I was born in Minnesota, is a collection of floral portraits honoring my mother's side of the family and friends. The work draws from an aerial perspective of open fields, where blooming forms become both landscape and portrait. These compositions celebrate the delicate balance between the chaos of the natural world and the divine order found within it. Reminiscent of Rorschach inkblot tests, each piece invites viewers to interpret memories and emotions within layered botanical forms, reflecting the deeply personal ways we connect with nature and one another.
