Flower Book Project

A Dozen Flowers for You! is a poetry collection designed to introduce children to various types of flowers and the joys of painting. I wrote each of the dozen poems contained in the book as a response to my floral paintings. The book seeks to both playfully instruct and entertain children through ekphrastic poetry, as well as invite them to explore the wonder of color and art.

In 2020 A Dozen Flowers for You! was self-published—100 limited edition, hard-cover books. Still have a few available for sale! ($30)

Note: In ancient Greece, the term ekphrasis described the skill of describing a thing in vivid detail. In the modern world, ekphrastic poetry is defined as poems written in response to objects or works of art.
