I’ve always considered sitting in front of a plant with a
pencil and paper the best drawing class you can take. Looking to nature for
inspiration and instruction on beauty is an old and welcome practice in all
forms of making art. Using the natural world for healing is perhaps even an
older practice. In my Pretty Potent collection, I drew inspiration specifically
from plants and flowers that are often used for healing. While they possess
properties to heal our physical bodies, the very beauty of the plants themselves
seems intended to be a balm for the soul. Potent and pretty. The duality enchanted
me. The three palettes of quilting cotton carry a healthy dose of color.
