“Within me, an invincible calm/Monstera / Botanical Series”; Diptych, 60"h x 48"w x 2”d; Acrylic, ink, charcoal, graphite, pen, paper collage and brass on panel; title from #albertcamus 🧡💙 this is the first of its kind, a #botanicalseries painting using a repeat of #monstera leaves from my favorite plant 🌱 I became obsessed with houseplants over the pandemic, spurred by the gift of #wildathome written by the incredibly inspiring @hiltoncarter ✨ I had over 100 houseplants, they were a place for my heart to go, the nurturing I had to give while hoping for a child for years 💙 my houseplants are my babies (along with Edward) and I’m grateful for them every day—even though they require more time & space than might be justifiable, they fill me up 💝 this watery, graceful, flowing piece is part of my upcoming show “Mirage” with @marina.sd.studio and I can’t wait to see it in conversation with her gorgeous work (if you don’t know about her yet, you *must* visit her page!) #ninatichava #newpainting #newfavorite #botanicalart #botanicalpainting #botanicalartlovers #abstractbotanical (at Laura Rathe Fine Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckvo6tkuxn8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
