Walking into any home, any room, and seeing a bunch of flowers on a table evokes a memory in all of us, much like a scent that lingers in our minds for years. These small, simple arrangements have the power to transport us, to connect us to moments and places that are both personal and universal. My work seeks to capture that fleeting sense of familiarity and nostalgia, using flowers as a bridge between the past and present. I am drawn to the rhythm of the seasons, their timeless loop. As I write this, spring has arrived in England, and the Beech trees in the surrounding woodlands have burst into an illuminated green. We often describe plants as rooted, much like we speak of humans belonging to a place. Yet, when I think of seeds and blossoms, what comes to mind is movement. My new home, where I have grown strong roots, a landscape intentionally planted, Oak, Hawthorn, Holly, and Yew. The English countryside is picturesque, considered, curated, and intentional. My paintings are a reflection of my love for texture, colour, and pattern. I combine traditional oil painting techniques with intricate collage work, finding joy in the process. Flowers are a persistent ingredient in my art, and this body of work includes a curation of still life’s featuring objects found at home and in my garden. A morning spent at the local farmer's market often sparks new bursts of creativity, as I find evocative joy in the seasonal offerings and the language of their botany. I draw inspiration from simple domestic pleasures, particularly vintage ceramics, and feel a constant urge to bring the ‘Garden into the Home.’ My work seeks to create a flow between the inside and outside, allowing the landscape and flowers to challenge or enhance one another. Colour interaction is central to my practice, and I emphasize subtle variations by placing colours in close proximity to each other, revealing their nuances.
