Flowers have been a theme in pysanky for centuries, symbolizing wisdom, love of god, or many other themes, depending on the type of flower and the way it is displayed. Nolie Marie Wilson’s approach to floral elements is different, sometimes seeking to impart realism, or the stylized color palettes common to lithographing, sometimes incorporating the flowers in abstract shapes or formations inspired by traditional pysanky, art deco shapes, or other thematic influences.
