ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
'Rx: craft store therapy' is a part of my flower medicine collection--paintings created while I was feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sad and hopeless about a medical condition I was experiencing in December, 2024.
One day, I picked up the paintbrush and out came flowers. As I painted them, my spirits began to lift and I started to actively attempt to infuse joy and hope into my painting.
Each one is different, but they share many transparent layers of paint (many mixed with my favorite color: fluorescent magenta), paint splatters and drips, collaged on polka dots + stripes. Some have crackle paste or modeling paste; all of them have my desire to reach out to you + have you believe it will get better as well.
This flower bouquet is your medicine 😚 hang it on your wall or give it to a friend who needs it.
did you know this painting has a bunch of "sisters"? there are around 10 smaller paintings in this collection (can't remember exactly how many, lol) ranging from 6x6, 6x8 and 8x8. they look great alone and as a cluster of art!
This painting was made on 6x8" cradled hardboard that has 2" sides. It was painted with acrylic + varnished with a clear coat, and is wired on the back for hanging.
please note I do my absolute best to make the photos match the real-life paintings, but it is a challenge with my vibrant color palette! Most of the time, paintings look much more vibrant in real life, but just be aware that there may be discrepancies between what you see on screen and the actual product.
