Propagation

Propagation is part of the “Series Under the Same Sky Exhibition,” curated by Anne Livingston. This series results from her Slow Color Art Residency Project, an on-line community of artists from all over the world.

The theme of this group of paintings is the simple houseplant. Years ago in art school, I created a pastel painting of a philodendron and it was, in my opinion and at the time, the best thing I’d ever done. With these acrylic paintings, I strive to recapture the enthusiasm and joy I felt when I first drew the plant. I’ve always neglected my art and my houseplants, but I began, a few years ago, to care, tenderly watering, propagating and re-potting my variety of philodendron. I began the latest iteration of my being as an Artist and, having found the other Residents in this project, was thrust into possibility. I was in exactly the right time and place when I first visited the houseplant, and somehow I’m in exactly the right time and place again today.
