“Sometimes I’ll put plant essences in my paint. Plants are our greatest teachers. Flowers are holy. I infused this work with barrel cactus flowers, which are found near my dad’s reservation. I was thinking about how spirituality and science each work within plant medicine, engaging one another. Spirituality is a way of investing in something bigger than yourself, and there’s a science to it and it’s based on love. You don’t work with spirit to have anything else, you know?”—GRP
