With my second child on the way, in early 2018 I decided I wanted to invest more time in my art practice. Balancing with work and family certainly has it’s challenges, however the personal peace and healing that art brings to my soul is well worth the juggle.
Large florals are my favourite to create, with the intimate details that you only discover when you let yourself explore the depths and complexities of flower are breath-taking. Capturing the usually unnoticed details on canvas, revealing a flowers secrets is an absolute privilege.
There’s no hiding that peonies, followed closely by roses are my absolute favourites to work with and I’ll find any excuse to purchase a bunch, or a plant or visit a peony farm.
Painting large macro florals has opened up a world to me of seeing and exploring flowers differently.
I hope you enjoy exploring the intimate details of flowers just as much as I do.
