Thistle
Art note:
Popularly known as the Canada thistle, this invasive thistle is not native to Canada, but actually native throughout Europe and Northern Asia. It was likely one of the first weeds introduced by North American settlers in the 1600s as a contaminant in seeds. It grows in circular patches by spreading vegetatively through roots and once established, it spreads quickly replacing native plants.
It's interesting to learn about a new country through its most common flora and fauna. When you dig deeper you understand the phenomenon of migration. Every weed, every blade of grass on your sidewalk has a story.

Working with images drawn from nostalgia and travel, B'lu participates in promoting the beauty of our planet, by softly nudging the significance of human history and reintegrates these symbolically into her love for nature.
"We, as mankind, share a common reality and it is not always in plain sight. Art helps define who we are and this practice keeps us closer to the path of what we can become. I paint to tell myself and the world, how delighted I am to be able to live and make these paintings, simply because I can - It is my voice, loud and just as clear as my love and hope... for humanity and my planet."
