BEAUTIFUL ART WORKS INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL WORLD

"The Garden is a Constant Inspiration"

Where did the transition between your paintings featuring native birds and your floral still life works come into play?

I loved painting NZ birds but just came to a time in my life where my kids were all grown up and I felt the need to push myself out of my comfort zone and to experiment with my work, changing my colour palette was the first step. The transition to florals was a conscious decision to try painting florals, it started with a lot of playing and experimenting which evolved into two different styles, one loose and abstract the other more stylised. They both felt unique to me.
