Chamisa | Art Print
Ericameria nauseosa, commonly known as chamisa, has bright yellow flowers that bloom late in the season and bring vitality to wintry landscapes. Adapted to withstand harsh conditions, chamisa plays an essential role in supporting native pollinators and stabilizing soils. The patterns in this piece reference the growth habits, flowers, and seeds I observed while studying the plant.
This piece is part of my Adaptations series, which explores artistic motifs inspired by flora native to the American Southwest. My creative process begins in the field with careful observation and sketches, looking at the plant’s form and relationship to the environment. Back in the studio, I conduct botanical research and translate these natural structures into abstracted motifs that reflect both scientific understanding and intuitive interpretation. Each painting features a “resting space” — part of the asymmetrical grid where the eye and mind can rest, and hold space for the complexity of the design.
