Sweet Spot

The ‘Sweet Spot’ series was inspired by attending the Pollinator Festival in Bristol Botanic Gardens. Most people know about bumblebee and butterflies but many flies, beetles, moths and wasps are important pollinators too. In this series I wanted to celebrate this incredible diversity. By painting them on traditional gesso panels, which take several days of careful preparation and finishing, I want to invoke a feeling of jewel-like preciousness to each and every one.
