Taking it's Time ~ the Great MulleinI was only five years old but I can still remember wandering and exploring our lovely garden in Surrey, Walton-on-Thames, England. My interest and love of plants and flowers began there. I am inspired by the multitude of colours, textures, shapes, and smells of plants. Exploring, observing, wondering and painting plants and flowers exploded for me in the past 18 months, as a result of COVID and the quiet isolation. I read about Indigenous Peoples traditional plants used for foods and medicines, connected with indigenous peoples to help develop a medicine/healing garden. My understanding of indigenous wisdom and scientific plant knowledge grew and I experimented with new found pigments and plant based paints (BEAM Paints).Verbascum thapsus, “The Great Mullein”. This multi-use medicinal plant was used for asthma, broncitis, and ear infections. People Indigenous to Ontario used the leaves for asthma by drying them, removing the hairs, and then smoking it. The painting depicts the plant in it’s early growth stage and the pattern of the leaves become feathers. I hoped to present the power of this plant, it’s soul and purpose, and what it offers and what it teaches us.
