Artwork Description

Capturing the light amongst swaying plants and the patterns of the light is a constant fascination of mine as I seek to celebrate light. This is a refreshing piece that provides you a constant puzzle of shapes to solve. Are they foxgloves, hollyhocks or geraniums? It gives you a sense of standing in a shady spot and looking out at the view in the garden and letting the light lap over you.

I painted this after a visit to a Monet and the Impressionist movement exhibition and I must say I really felt the colour and immediacy of their work with their need to capture a particular moment of beauty where a scene had inspired them to take up their brushes and to try to recreate this moment. In so many ways I think I do the reverse now because we have the instant moment of gratification with today’s phones. I want to take the time and savour the beauty of this scene and the flowers that really seemed to speak to me with their spires of colour.

Artist Bio

My work is an expression of my deep connection to nature, drawn from the subtle beauty I encounter in my daily walks through the Australian landscape. The fleeting yet profound moments I find in local plants, flowers, and gardens are at the heart of my practice. I am inspired by the delicate, often overlooked details that, when observed closely, reveal the resilience and vibrancy of life. These small but significant finds serve as the foundation for my abstract floral and landscape paintings.

In my art, I aim to celebrate the essence of nature—not through realistic depictions, but through bold, abstract forms that elevate the quiet energy of plants and gardens. My work reflects my reverence for nature’s intricate beauty, and my desire to bring attention to the often-hidden wonders of the natural world. Each painting is an exploration of how the landscape speaks to me: it could be the subtle play of light on a petal, the curve of a leaf, or the rhythm of growth that occurs just beneath the surface.

My practice is not only about capturing what I see, but also about fostering a dialogue between the internal and external landscapes—the emotional response I feel as I encounter these living forms, and the way nature’s rhythms mirror our own human experience. Through color, texture, and abstraction, I seek to convey the layers of meaning and connection I feel with the natural world, offering viewers a space to pause and reflect on the beauty that surrounds us.

Ultimately, my work is a tribute to the natural world, an attempt to elevate the often unnoticed moments in our everyday lives, and an invitation for others to see and appreciate the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary.
