This artwork is a tribute to Valerie Monroe who is the foundational reason why the album Manyara was created as a tribute to the time that we shared before her passing.
Her passion for plants and nature was evident in everything she did, from her career to her personal life. But among all the flowers and plants she studied, it was the wild dandelion that held a special place in her heart.

During my time of being in her presence, she marveled at Wild Dandelions' ability to thrive in the toughest conditions and saw beauty in its simple white blooms. Even as her health declined due to cancer, she found comfort in watching the dandelions dance in the breeze outside her window.

The audio that you'll hear in this piece is a plant wave recording of the wild dandelions that were recorded on my recent trip to Texas during the pandemic. I've gone back to the home where we use to live in San Antonio. the wild dandelion still lives on the property.
