About the Item

Sunflower by Susan Meeks was painted in 2024 as part of her floral collection. Sunflower is framed. and free shipping is offered at checkout. The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a species of large annual forb of the daisy family Asteraceae. The common sunflower is harvested for its edible oily seeds which are used in the production of cooking oil, as well as other uses such as food for livestock, bird food, and planting in domestic gardens for aesthetics. Wild plants are known for their multiple flower heads, whereas the domestic sunflower often possesses a single large flower head atop an unbranched stem. A common misconception is that flowering sunflower heads track the Sun across the sky. Although immature flower buds exhibit this behavior, the mature flowering heads point in a fixed (and typically easterly) direction throughout the day Susan is a native Houstonian. She is passionate about oil painting, specializing in large scale florals. She was inspired to start painting florals when she began photographing flowers on her daily walks. Susan is an early childhood educator and teaches at a private school in Houston. She is a member of the Lassaulx studio in Houston, Texas. Artist Statement: My work explores the vibrant and emotional spectrum through the delicate medium of floral imagery. I paint flowers to capture various moods. Each bloom is not merely a representation of nature's beauty, but a symbol of the myriad of emotions that people experience. In my paintings, fresh flowers serve as a metaphor for life's moments and the intensity of human emotions. The freshness of flowers symbolizes new beginnings and hope. Intricate layers and delicate petals represent love, passion and light. Through this interplay of color and form my art seeks to convey connections between nature, emotion and the human spirit.
