In Augustina Droze's collection, “Zodiac Flora”, animals combined with a corresponding flower are presented in hybridized form, reflecting the optima of reverence and beauty through the human lens. The Chinese zodiac, or shengxiao (/shnng-sshyao/ 'born resembling'), is represented by 12 zodiac animals. In order, they are the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Flowers are highly significant in the Chinese zodiac. Each zodiac animal has a lucky flower attached to it that enhances the sign’s personality as well as elevates overall wellbeing. Droze created her world of floral animals to inhabit her paintings.

So Impressed
Hi Nicole, The art pieces arrived yesterday and look great! My new task is to get them framed and placed on the wall. Augustina is my second cousin’s daughter. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her but I saw her dad recently and I’m so impressed with her work. I want to start collecting art and thought what better way than to start with a personal connection. Thank you so much! Karolyn
