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.
Purple milkvetch is a perennial herb that is native to North America and can be found in North Dakota. It is a member of the pea family and has soft green, hairy stems that can lean on other plants. The plant produces clusters of pink to lavender or purple pea flowers in short heads that bloom from May to August. Purple Milk-Vetch has many uses, including food source, nitrogen fixation, grazing and traditional medicine. However, purple milk-vetch is at risk of becoming endangered due to overgrazing and habitat loss. I am grateful when I find a whole patch of milkvetch growing abundantly on the prairie.
Purple Milk-Vetch is a watercolor study on paper with a genuine dried milkvetch flower included. It is roughly 5 x 7 inches but is 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.
