Artist's Notes:

"I feel the pulse of an
increasingly
technological world that
is exponentially
accelerating. I recognize
our need to rely on
technology as a source
of information to feed our
minds, but of equal
importance is our need
to align or ground
ourselves with nature
and the earth. I paint
nature in a larger than
life approach to
challenge the viewer to
stop for a moment and
look deeper-to make a
connection between the
earth and ourselves."
American Orchid Society -  Director of Education Note:

Written records of Cymbidiums in cultivation go back to the time of Confusius (about 500BC).  Western hybridization of
cool-growing species native to the foothills of the Himalayas began with the registration of
Cym. Eburneo-lowianum
(Cym. eburneum x Cym. lowianum) by the firm of Messrs James Veitch & Sons of King’s Road, Chelsea in 1889.  The
first artificial hybrids of
Cym. insigne started to emerge in 1911 with the registration of Cym. Gottianum (insigne x
eburneum
).  The characteristics of tall inflorescences of several flowers borne well above the foliage and large, long-
lasting flowers in shades of pearly white to pastel pink revolutionized the industry.  Today, modern complex
Cymbidium
hybrids such as the one that inspired this work come in all colors of the rainbow except blue.  In the wild the large-
flowered
Cymbidium species are pollinated by species of bumblebees.
