Description:I live in rural NE Oregon and find inspiration in both the wild plants (more than 180 flowering plants in our woods), and a few hardy cultivates. Everyday, through the ever changing light, clouds, wind and weather, the life cycle of any and all plants brings me beauty and joy. The juxaposition of the wild ferns and Cosmos (unused to living at 4,000’+) is a statement of dignity and diversity sharing beauty and joy.
