About this collection: 
The Snails: A collection of six monochrome snail paintings. I love drawing and painting snails: the textured bodies, spiraling shells, and delightful faces bring me joy. But, as a gardener, they wreak havoc on my garden every year, creating a kind of chaotic love/hate relationship. I wanted to honor my garden visitors who love decimating my flowers with this collection.
