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 Dakota and Blackfoot Indians used a paste made from the scarlet globemallow as a cooling agent for burns, scalds, and sores. A tea was used as a lotion for skin diseases, and a tonic to improve appetite. It is a native wildflower found in most of the western United States.
Scarlet Globemallow 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.
