For the love of Flowers

From the untamed beauty of coastal flowers to the cherished blooms in our garden, and those thoughtful gifts from friends, these fleeting natural jewels have gradually woven themselves into the fabric of my life. I love growing them, drying, sketching, and arranging them for our gallery. The photographs and digital enhancements featured here are integral steps in the creative journey, each playing a vital role in shaping the inspiration that fuels my paintings.

In the Studio

My creative space is messy and joyful, filled with flowers and objects for inspiration.

Beauty & Mystery

There is joy in seeing how far I can push my photos through digital overlaying to bring forth something that makes me look again and again.

Wild Coastal

The coastal photographs, mostly captured at Pukehina Beach, evoke a deep longing for the wild and untouched sand dunes, blue skies, and soft sand. These images serve as essential mental anchors, bolstering my spirits, especially during the dull and grey winter months, reminding me of the vibrant beauty that exists beyond.
