University of Tennessee Knoxville Botanical Gardens is an expressive acrylic painting that celebrates the beauty of spontaneous creation in the gardens. Painted in a single, intuitive session, outdoors at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens, this original artwork captures the luminous energy of the University of Tennessee's gardens where rich greens, and blooms of colors breathe life into a calming garden scene set in early August.

In this richly layered mosaic of color, structure meets spontaneity. A little garden path meanders through blooms of flowers. The composition pulses with rhythmic brushwork and unapologetic color, reflecting a uniquely neurodivergent lens: one that sees harmony in contrast and power in perception.

Each stroke is intentional, each edge deliberate, preserving a moment of clarity, movement, and joy. This is not just a painting of a garden, it’s a meditation on sensory experience, a celebration of sharp focus in a lively world.

Perfect for garden lovers, art collectors, and those who appreciate the fusion of the love of horticulture and emotional expression, this piece invites viewers to pause, breathe, and feel the beat of the blooms.

Painting En Plein Air

En plein air, French for “in the open air,” is the practice of painting outdoors, directly immersed in the landscape. Each brushstroke responds to shifting light, fleeting color, and the living atmosphere, capturing a moment that can never be repeated. Popularized by the Impressionists, this method infuses every work with the immediacy and authenticity of being created in nature itself.

Capturing a Moment in Time

My plein air paintings are extremely unique as they change per the mood of the day, the energy of the air, and the spirit of the world around me.
