Confinement Garden -AB Print

My ongoing “Confinement Gardens” series, developed during the Covid 19 pandemic. Last year in March, as the virus was surging in New York, and strict lockdown measures were in place, I sought relief from these restrictions by walking through the city’s public parks and gardens. Witnessing the powerful emergence of waves of flowers during the spring blooming, I felt so hopeful despite the pandemic and the political situation we were in. Though I am an abstract painter, impressions of my garden walks emerged in my usually nonfigurative compositions, and I began combining floral and leaf forms with wholly abstract linear patterns. To convey the luminous power of these gardens, I paint several coats of translucent acrylics over an under-layer of aluminum leaf that I first apply to the canvas as a base to reflect and refract light back through the layers of semitransparent paint. Fully aware of the deteriorating natural environment, and the artifice of cultivated gardens, during this time, I am nonetheless seeking a vision of hope by celebrating nature’s ongoing luxuriant beauty in these lush green paintings punctuated with colorful notes of imagined flowers.
