Tale of Two Blooms: Tulips + Dahlias (featuring limited-edition NFTs from Kelly Teleglow)

After surviving four months of deep freeze on Long Island, it’s hard not to feel hopeful when the first hints of green emerge in the spring. I think that feeling is especially potent this year, as more and more people are getting vaccinated and a glimmer of hope that a clearing of the pandemic fog we’ve all endured for over a year may be coming, slowly but surely.

It’s an honor to be working with my friend, Kelly Teleglow, on a piece that speaks to the signs of life that inspire hope each April/May. When we worked on our first article together last year, April Showers Bring May Flowers, Kelly was quickly becoming one of my favorite local photographers, particularly when it comes to shooting flowers. In the time since, she’s really established herself as an artist and taught herself animation skills to further expand the ways in which she presents her work. Luckily, she was still willing to collaborate with me for this!
