Winters Pass through a Window Pane Print

The subject matter I work with varies from representing shape and form to intricate details. I am enchanted by nature, whether it be the wilderness or garden flowers, these feelings permeate into the drawings via my pencil or brush. Through my floral artwork I aim to bring the fresh outdoor air into our homes, you can imagine the smell and feel the texture from the marks I have created on the paper. Living with the beauty of the environment, via an artwork hung on the wall, reminds us to take a breath and reconnect with Mother Earth. I strive to show the viewer or collector the power of flora and the joy a simple but intricate posy can bring. Being present in the garden and surrounded by nature is good for the heart and mind, tending to the flowers frees the mind from all of life’s troubles. A flower’s beauty, delicacy and ability to thrive is what keeps me at my desk, day after day perfecting the perfect pencil drawing or contending with watercolours to keep the brilliance in a Geranium petal in my studio. I endeavor to share with the artistic connoiseurs the power of nature and how a simple but ornate Chrysanthemum can bring joy. I approach these floral paintings primarily with watercolour, as I feel it reflects the complexity and grace of the blooms.
