Lisianthus in Vase

Lisianthus in Vase is an original watercolour and ink painting on 300gsm cotton rag paper.

Light filled watercolour and black ink depicts a bunch of beautiful lisianthus flowers and a banksia in this still life. A delicate rose-like flower with beautiful ruffled petals.

The pinks and oranges of the subjects are balanced by the blue washes of the background. Finished with delicate ink linework akin to stained glass.

Her art practice encompasses printmaking and painting with a focus on linocut and watercolour. Nature is a constant throughout her work with native flowers and birds as subjects and motifs.

Art Nouveau and stained glass work have been an enduring inspiration and are echoed throughout her pieces. Juxtaposing flat ink against textural and tonal watercolour washes create a tactility in her still life and botanical pieces.
