Zapped is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC. I was attracted to the colors and naturally abstract feel of the coleus in my Zapped piece. My artistic vision was to place the vein on a diagonal across the frame as if it were conducting a surging bolt of energy that was lighting up the surrounding area and brightening the browns into gorgeous reds. I loved how the colors were brightest next to the vein and then gradually decrease in intensity as they flow away from it – exactly how you would expect charged particles to behave.
