Three Designs created for Light Grey Art Labs RESURGENCE show opening today March 23. The pieces I created are based on the spring flowers I have in my backyard. Nature makes such beautiful patterns and I wanted to celebrate that with my own patterns. I have a limited number of prints you can get them here.
