Artist Comments
Pages from The Secret Life of Bees adorn iris flowers spilling from a rectangular vase. Shades of purple and gold infuse the fanciful bouquet with a warm summer glow. The blend of colors and collage elements creates a lively and captivating composition.
About the Artist
Artist Joyanna Margo presents a playful view of nature around her home through her vibrant, abstract flower paintings. Her process, which involves little planning, begins with meaningful words scrawled on the canvas and gradually builds with layers of acrylic paint. "My bouquets reflect the joy and the story that it can grow from any beginning, whether sad, happy, angry, or empowered," says Joyanna. She paints in her studio in Scarborough, Maine. When not doing art, Joyanna enjoys cooking, hiking, gardening, shopping with her daughter, coffee with friends, and playing fetch with her Goldendoodle.
