Wild Flowers: Rock’s Iconic Women is part archive, part altar, and part love letter to the musicians who reshaped rock through force, vulnerability, and unflinching creative rebellion. In each print, I pair a groundbreaking woman in rock with a flower chosen for its symbolic history. In reclaiming floral iconography—a visual language often dismissed as delicate or decorative—I reframe flowers as markers of resilience, defiance, and identity. In every portrait, I draw on the physicality of analog printmaking and the visual charge of rock poster culture, merging bold graphic energy with layered storytelling.

At its core, I think of Wild Flowers as a study in connection: between the women who bent culture through sound, and the botanical symbols that deepen their stories. Each pairing becomes its own mythos—sometimes protective, sometimes feral, sometimes tender—inviting viewers to consider how power can bloom in unexpected forms.
