This piece is really actually about Edmonton, where I spent many of my growing up years, and where my parents live. The plant forms in this painting are based on a photo I took in the Muttart Conservatory. I love conservatories, and how the tropical plants can still grow in a place where the outside climate wouldn’t allow them to. It reminds me that the theme “abundance” can mean learning to grow and thrive where I didn’t expect to.
