Aaron draws and paints from life and nature around her. I am fascinated by the intricate patterns found in flowers and the interplay of light and color on natural forms. Silk painting and batik are an idea medium for exploring the natural beauty of flowers. The translucency of silk fabric, bleeding and blending of silk dyes, and wax resist to preserve the light areas all contribute to her process of transforming floral images into abstract designs.
