Acrylic on canvas.

Springing Forth features California Golden Poppies (Eschscholtzia Californica) springing forth from a dark background. Many Californian plants use environmental signals, such as smoke, heat and even chemical changes in the soil to trigger germination. This causes them to "spring forth" when little else is visible after a wildfire. “Springing Forth” also conveys an action. Anyone who has recovered from a disaster, injury, or the loss of a loved one can attest that it is an ACTIVE process that ultimately leaves them stronger and more resilient.
