"To plant a flower is to believe in tomorrow. To paint a flower is to believe in forever."
I'm thrilled to release a new collection of paintings this week, and I've been eagerly awaiting the moment to share a full preview!
Inspired by gardens bursting with colour, this collection of contemporary, slightly abstract florals includes 18 original acrylic paintings on gallery wrapped canvas in a variety of sizes as well as fine prints and canvas wall art.
The originals, art prints and for the first time ever greeting cards (YAY!) will be available for sale on Thursday July 8th at 11am Eastern here on my webshop. In the meantime, enjoy the preview below!
The collection grew around my signature white blossom, which I explored with colour and composition. Each abstract floral painting ended up telling its own story, showcasing not just the beauty of the bloom but also hinting at how my ideas grew along the way.

Colourful, slightly abstract, grown completely from my imagination and full of life. Painting flowers on colourful abstract backgrounds rather than in their natural environment gives me an opportunity to highlight the beauty of the blossom and the unique personality of each one.
Painting flowers is endlessly fascinating.
They have a straightforward beauty but can be grand and stunning. While they may seem simple at first glance, the more you look, the more layers of complexity reveal themselves.
Bold and simple brushstrokes, perfectly imperfect shapes filled with colour and an underlying feeling of calm, peace and simple joy.
