FLORA

  • before moving to Queens and Brooklyn. Growing up, Drucker remembers her grandparents speaking Yiddish to each other whenever they didn’t want the children to understand what they were saying.

    This series captures the essence of a tender summer—warmth, love, family, friendship, childhood freedom, and cherished moments, like postcards from past vacations. These biographical floral pieces offer serenity through landscapes and memory.

    During the pandemic, with limited access to human subjects, Drucker turned to flowers as her medium. This shift sparked a new artistic relationship rooted in healing, intimacy, and self-love. Her floral studies began with the Flowers from Lovers series (2020–2022) and continue into her current work Wildflowers (2023–2025).

    This new chapter explores flowers in their natural state—growing wild, on farms, in gardens, greenhouses, and along roadsides. It’s raw, untamed, and deeply personal. Drucker paints with movement, light, and color—using flowers as her brush.

    Using a vintage prism from her maternal grandfather’s camera collection, Drucker manipulates light, color, and movement to create moments of visual poetry. Inspired by 1970s kaleidoscopes, her abstract approach—handheld and external to the camera.
