Altissimo

Cultivar Monologues series, a figurative practice that elevates individual plant cultivars to solo on the stage of canvas, each demanding just like a portrait subject. (Where Glance At the Garden captured the garden’s emergence and rhythm) — This series isolates singular botanical personalities—one bush, one bloom, one cultivar—rendered with a little bit of extra moods and characters.
