Artwork Description

This piece was extended play from a commission request, around apricots that grow in the client's backyard. I wanted to speak of bright days and blue skies of the late Spring stone fruit season in southern Australia. The dusky crimson outlines brought a playful effect and a rich complement to the turquoise blues, while the wattle brought more elements of Spring and a cute, happy feel with the little circles of yellow which I adored. The vase is a favourite in my home, the Flugen Vase by Ned Collections of New Zealand.

Giclee prints of this piece are now available here on Bluethumb in A2 and A3 sizes for standard frames.

Artist Bio

From my studio in Canberra, Australia I work to create ethereal abstract nature paintings that echo that feeling of ease and wellness that twinkles through you when you stop in a pocket of forest or under a tree, stepping into Earth’s embrace. I would love to show you around my studio in person. Meantime, please enjoy exploring this virtual shop, zoom in, peer close, and reach out with any questions.

In the tangle of the forest understorey, the connectivity of all things is most apparent to me. The sense of oneness and gentle alive-ness leads me to create layers of subtle, organic marks that invite the viewer in, like we lean in to listen when someone speaks softly. Paint is added or removed, responding to the moment; some things from life, some imagined, as though co-creating, until this pocket of wilderness is formed enough to hold us. Final flecks of colour are allowed to skip across the surface like sunlight on leaf, web or tiny wing. I’m exploring the concept of Nature as divinity, accessed by grounding in the wild-grown Earth that is the ancestral home for our species. The result, I hope, is artwork with a sense of the ethereal; that is somehow both divine-uplift and soft-landing – like opening the door to home.
