My artist book is titled: The Positivity of Flowers.

It is made with the Japanese Stab & Stitch bookmaking technique. I used wallpaper for the covers and hinges. I use bookbinding waxed thread for the stitching. The paper is white mixed media paper. The entire book measures a width of 11-1/4 inches and a length of 17-1/2 inches.

The reason I created this is because this year of 2020 has been full of uncertainty following the global pandemic of COVID-19. Feelings of sorrow, frustration, anger, and fear are the most prevalent within the hearts of this nation’s citizens and the global population. Those negative emotions are what motivated me to remind others to stay positive instead of focusing on the negative.

The poems that accompany my drawings are all my own work and showcases the unique meanings behind each flower.

Feel free to browse through my portfolio, and get in touch if you have a poem or drawing in mind that you’d like to explore together.

Indian Paintbrush

Crimson stains on a canvas

With vibrant orange and gold

Sun-kissed rays on a faded blue

Merges with the purple pinkish hues

Colors of a sunset beauty

Paints the evening sky

So come and embrace in the freedom

The freedom of being an artist.

Sunflower

The flower of Vincent Van Gogh

Silent is his feeling of gratitude

Towards the flower of Helios

To future artists seeking intelligence

I give you positivity and strength

Uplifting in faith is our adoration

To this halo of golden flames

Amongst these leaves of green

That grows in worship of the sun.

- Jaimee King

Gentiana

April showers bring May flowers

uOf vibrant purples and blues

In glory they grow in splendor

Beneath the warm summer sun

The autumn harvest is beckoning

For it's final season of growth

This symbol of passion

Comes from the love within our hearts

A gentleness shown towards others

With a smile of sweetness and charm.

Lewisia

Named after the famous explorer

Meriwether Lewis

It is a symbol of new discoveries

These tiny colorful flowers

Are like a million shining stars

Within a field of melting snow

And as swiftly as they bloom

They are gone to soon

That's why they are called

The flower of birth and new beginings.

- Jaimee King

Chrysanthemum

Children see the world through innocent eyes

Yellow is the color of energy and light

A flower blessed by the heat of the sun

With it's petals of golden warmth

That soaks up all the joy and love

The color of friendship and cheerfulness

Represented as the symbol of good luck

The Chrysanthemum is the flower of a child.

- Jaimee King

Wild Roses

The wild rose of orangey gold

Surrounded by peach and pink tinted hues

The wild child is full of enthusiasm

It's not to be smothered or subdued

Showing love and genuine adoration

The color orange is for fascination and pride

Pink is for elegance and admiration towards life

While peach is the color of gratitude.

- Jaimee King

Honeysuckle

The sweet nectar of childhood memories

The candy flower of happiness

That keeps negativity away

Sweet is our affection

Towards those we love

And sweet is the aroma

Of this four seasons flower

That blooms in prosperity of faith

In a future that's soon to come.

- Jaimee King

Delphinium

The beautiful purples and blues

Evoke a lightness and calming warmth

Which gives a feeling of joy

To the weary hearted

It broadens their horizions

With a lighthearted fun

In order to try out new experiences

With an openness to positivity and love.

- Jaimee King

Alstroemeria

The Lily of the Inca's

With those brilliant summer and autumn hues

The flower of prosperity and wealth

A symbol of devotion and love

There is a treasure many seek to find

That outshines the golden fortunes

Beneath the ground

The truth that money could never buy

Is the friendships we choose to create.

- Jaimee King

Amaryllis

The genus name is Hippeastrum

The Greeks call it the Amaryllis

The flower of determination and pride

A symbol for inner beauty and friendship

This pillar of strength demands our attention

With it's pink pastel blooms.

Scabiosa

Petals that resemble and elegant brooch

On a dress or hand-knitted shawl

The purity of these opaque hues

Contrasts the Bold vibrant greens

It's deceiving pincushion center

Doesn't give off any semblance of pain

Instead I see only gentleness

Of a grandmother's comforting hug.

- Jaimee King

Cornflower

The regal blue of anticipation

Blooms with the hope for wealth

But the greatest treasures of silver and gold

All pale in comparison to love

For love cannot be bought or sold

It can be crafted by devoted hands

Through the creativity of a child

Eager to present their handmade gifts

To those they love with all their hearts.
