As to what inspires her painting, Balmert says, “I’ve always loved bold, vibrant colors, in things like clothing and cars. When it came time to look for subjects to paint, flowers were a natural choice as subjects. For me, finding flowers for my paintings is part of the fun: some of my vacation travel has been built around visiting famous gardens the world over. I’ve spent hours with my camera, to capture the perfect combination of light and color in my flowers.” —
