I am an artist working in a studio on a mountain in Victoria Australia enfolded by National Parks, botanic gardens and my own large 100 year old property. My fascination with flora is an enduring one. 

As I work in oils I have become more interested in exploring larger areas of canvas to bring these flowers further into our space so they can be inspected in all their quirks and sculptural forms. I do not aim for total realism but rather the tactility and sensation of these wondrous blooms.

Within this an unusual vase, a reflection, a patterned cloth to mimic natures own patterns and movements.

My large personal collections of vintage objects find their way into my works to announce this communion between humankind and nature, the bee the giver of the honey of life, praised for generations in the creation of a simple honeypot for our table. The Bee is a vintage West German honey pot found at an op shop whilst treasure hunting.
