African Daisies
oil on canvas, 20″ x 20″, 2019
This painting captures African daisies at the height of their season in Phoenix, rendered in dense fields of orange and yellow against deep green ground. For the artist, these flowers are inseparable from memory, rooted in her grandparents’ front yard where they returned year after year, multiplying and spreading with time. Their vivid color and resilient growth became a quiet constant, marking place and belonging. In this work, African daisies symbolize home, warmth, continuity, and the comfort of something familiar that endures through change.
