Artwork Description

The aim was a very serene artwork that would hold space for the viewer, creating a relaxed breathing space in the home while speaking of seasonal produce, gardens and sun. This piece was extended play from a commission request, experimenting with composition. I had also long wanted to play with the lovely colour and window reflections in the green glass benchtop that I have in my studio, so this was ideal!

The composition reminded me of Japanese minimalist style, and the peaches brought back wonderful memories from a 2019 trip around southern Japan when the peaches were in season and we were treated to amazing ice cream made from fresh peaches, and the fruity peach-like scent of osmanthus trees all through the parks.

The green tones are a mix of turquoise/pthalo green with a little sap green and Naples yellow for warmth, so it will sit nicely with both cool greens and warm greens in your decor. It's close to duck egg or pastel green.

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.
