This piece is an explosion of joyful colour featuring many native flowers. This piece features proteas, waratahs, bluegums and banksias on a cheerful background of soft blues and purples.
This piece is a celebration.
Through painting botanicals I explore themes of growth and change. I felt the Australian bush was well placed to encompass themes of adaptation. Australian Flowers and botanicals not only survive in extreme circumstances but also display characteristics of thriving in the midst of hardship. I feel this is true for growth as well. Whilst we all enjoy the benefits of periods when life feels a bit easier, growth usually comes about through periods of difficulty.
This piece has an iconic Australian flower featuring the waratah. The bright crimson varieties certainly stand out. They can withstand tough conditions with the extreme Australian climate, sometimes even bushfires. They have dormant buds in their underground stem which can sprout and survive the effects of fire.
This piece was named “Ask, Seek, Find.” In our busy world we often skim over things, make assumptions, miss the details, look for the quick fix. We need to stop, step back and examine.
