Both my grandmothers were "greenthumbs" and their gardens were beautiful. But more than that, they found such joy being in the garden and working with the seasons. Something of their own, something that they could see results and beauty in.

This understated, elegant floral, has layers of acrylic and pastel to capture the softness and depth of these flowers - some are inspired by sweet williams and dianthus.

I undertake commissions in any size and on stretched or unstretched canvas please contact me
