Part of a set of three paintings depicting myself as a child, roaming among oversized wildflowers. In this painting, I'm pictured standing amongst blue phlox, bluebells, and woodland blue lettuce. Each of these wildflowers are native to Northern Illinois, where I grew up. The foundational inspiration for this work comes from my efforts to connect with my childhood self and the lived experiences she encountered outside, observing the native flora and fauna around her while growing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago.
