A flower does not radiate love on the basis of whether it was picked or not. Its beauty comes from within. Flowers say "yes" to life and unfold to be witnessed by those of us lucky enough to be present as they blossom. This is how a flower makes love to the world...this is the "Heart of Tantra."

I like VR because it blocks out external distractions, allowing you to really focus on only what you’re viewing and see things from other perspectives. A Gathering of Peonies started by viewing actual flowers in VR and tuning in to their lush sensuality. This is one of the more “Okeefeian” works in the Flowers of the Metaverse collection and it’s a tribute to the larger-than-life presence and love that she radiated.

I often make art to process emotions and La Fleur De La Paix was started on the day I heard about Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine. I was so distraught and concerned for their people. I had been experimenting with concepts blending birds and flowers and looked over at my Father’s lithograph of Ubeda’s Bird of Peace that’s hanging in my studio for inspiration…I knew what I needed to do.

We have freshwater flowers, but to my knowledge, no saltwater flowers. The thought “What if flowers lived natively in the ocean?” came to me while looking at a bioluminescent algae bloom on the coast of California. I've always loved Hokusai’s Under the Wave Off Kangawa and in Waves of Bliss, I sought to bring in some of the energy he captured in this piece, along with some of the bioluminescence that I witnessed that day.

For this work, I weighed the question “Can a flower yearn?” The answer is obvious if you look at how plants grow toward sunlight and the reaching you find there is present in Yearning, but there is a deeper layer to this piece. If you look carefully, you might find it to be slightly erotic. Click the image to view print and framing options through Lumas Gallery.
Avian Iris is another answer to the question “What if birds and flowers could breed?” In this instance, I was trying to capture the aggressive majesty of a bird of prey. I live in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains with a magnificent view. The inspiration came upon witnessing an eagle attack some smaller birds, which scattered. On a humorous note, I’ve never seen my dogs more terrified than after that moment. Click the image to view print and framing options through Lumas Gallery.
