My friend, Dana, loves mathematics and finds joy in geometry. Finding patterns and repetition, and making precise calculations, brings her deep satisfaction. When thinking about what to paint for her card, I remembered one of her artistic photographs, “Hearts of Gold”.

One of my favorite flowers is the Blanket Flower, and I thought a stylized version of it would be just right. It would bring together the best of my CMYK painting technique and Dana’s joy in geometry.
