Living Art — I had the pleasure of exhibiting three pieces at the art show sponsored by in collaboration with . The theme was “California Fauna and Landscapes” and the three pieces were a of three California seasons (El Nino Winter, Cool Fall Evening at Dusk and Summer Heat with Fireworks).
It was such a fun evening with members of the San Diego art and design community! Thank you Christine Tolentino from and Laurie Fisher from for organizing such a great event and including as a featured art medium.
Ring of Protection — I participated in this year. I created a floral interpretation for an Iranian nasal protector from the 19thC. The nasal protector was placed on the front of a helmet to protect the face in battle. It is a beautiful piece with inscriptions praising Allah as The One and Protector.
For the floral interpretation, I wanted to depict protection so I placed a single in a ring of bending over one another to shield the bloom. I used the revered colors of Islam — green, white, gold and blue — as the color palette. To capture the spiritual component of the piece, I raised the ring above the vessel to make it appear elevated and floating.
Thank you for giving local artists an opportunity to participate in such a creative community event. It was really special!

I See You — I worked a lot with this month and it was so much fun! Structurally, it is so beautiful and so unique.

What I liked the most about is that it will last as a cut flower for 2 weeks and it looks beautiful in all stages of life. It starts smaller when many of the individual flowers are closed and then expands in volume as it reaches its flowering peak. Once the individual flower petals begin to drop, the colorful stamen remains to keep its circular structure. A
