Crimson Ember
Claret Cup Bud
6 × 6 acrylic on wood panel
Quilted Plant Medicine
$75
In this painting, the claret cup cactus stands as a vivid testament to the desert’s ability to thrive against the odds. With its fiery red blossoms and intricate, spiny form, the claret cup is a symbol of resilience and renewal. I sought to capture the cactus in full bloom, a fleeting moment of vibrant color in the otherwise muted desert palette. The contrast between the prickly exterior and the delicate, fleeting flowers reflects the paradoxes of the desert itself: harsh yet nurturing, tough yet full of life.
