For BLOOM, original art by Bev Drew Kindley

“We celebrate spring even more after a particularly dark season, when signs of renewal have appeared much later than usual. Sometimes we need a bouquet of flowers to keep our spirits up, to remind us of the joy.” –artist Bev Drew Kindley

Bev Drew Kindley, a native Oregonian, with dual degrees in art and philosophy, paints to understand the inspiration of unique moments of light with impressionistic works of art that are to viewed as visual celebrations. “It’s my way of communicating with the world. My hope is to encourage appreciate and protection of our heritage and world.”
