Project Description
Jay Gordon
Botanical Artist –Ashland, Oregon
The Botanicals series developed out of a love of the natural beauty of flowers and a fascination with powerful design. Using my own flower photography for reference material, each image was developed using classical principles of design, and then combined with experimental techniques that merge representational painting with abstraction, lending a creative charge to the deliberate design of each piece. I love the process of incorporating the elements of design, scale and experimentation into my work, and my hope with the Botanicals series is to communicate the playground of my own imagination to the viewer.
