Artist based on the prairies of North Dakota
Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
The Thimbleweed is a wildflower native to prairies, dry open woods, slopes, limestone glades, pastures and roadsides. It can be found throughout southern Canada, reaching south as far as Missouri and even Arizona. Various parts of this wildflower have been used medicinally to relieve nasal congestion and to treat an assortment of conditions including wounds, burns, headaches and sore eyes. It is one of my many favorites. It is so hard to pick a favorite wildflower.
Cylindrical Thimbleweed is a watercolor study with the actually flower press and placed along side the study. The dried flower has been treated to retain its color and shape. It is 5 x 7 inches, framed to 8 x 10 inches.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
