“I’m excited about graduation, about getting a job and an apartment, and maybe later having a house. I’m constantly thinking, What can I do? What do I need to be doing? I’m always looking ahead to the next step. But lately I’ve begun to realize that I need to slow down and appreciate the moment. I’m young, I’m independent, I’m fine. I don’t want to be so focused on what might be --- or what might have been --- that I miss what is. That’s the idea behind these three paintings. This one depicts a woman at two different points in her life. When she’s young, the flowers around her are just beginning to blossom and she’s preoccupied with looking ahead; when she’s old, the flowers are in full bloom, but she spends her time looking back and wondering what might have been. In reality, they both have everything they need right there in the moment.”
