In exploring the many varieties of 'flora' and 'fauna', I drew inspiration from 17th Century Dutch flower painting's sumptuous beauty. The symbolism of flowers may speak of constancy, unrequited love, and the ephemeral nature of beauty itself. I continue to expand the role of animals in my works by looking back into the menagerie in Jean-Baptiste Oudry's paintings. I believe companion animals reflect the inner desires, jealousies, kindnesses and hurts of their human guardians.
