The Daisy stems from an old Celtic legend that when a child died, the gods would sprinkle daisies upon the earth to cheer the parents up. In Norse Mythology, the daisy was considered Freya’s sacred flower. Freya was the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, and in such the daisy flower came to symbolize new beginnings. The bee mythos can be found in countless cultures; from India, to Egypt, Greece, it was believed to be the sacred insect that bridged the natural world to the underworld. This was one of the first pieces I started painting, and the reason I wanted to explore the mythology of flowers and plants, after experiencing countless other artists explore their personal affliction with mortality through the painting of flowers. For me the daisy and the bee, really fit the bill on this exploration
