My art stems from a reverence for the life cycle of plants.I am not painting their forms, but recording their "life memories."
-Maya Lin
Her work goes far beyond depicting the forms of plants; it attempts to reveal their inner vitality and spirituality. Through the bold use of mixed media such as palette knives, sand, and plaster, she constructs rich textures on the canvas, resembling cracked bark, layered petals, or moist moss. These tactile images allow the viewer to seemingly "touch" the passage of time and the breath of life.
