2024 EXHIBITION CATALOGUE 1

Welcome to my 2024 solo exhibition

Flowers continue to be THE subject of choice when it comes to my work. They hold an allure that goes beyond words.

The change of season set a familiar, reassuring tempo and the return of the blooms feel like a visit from old friends.

When given as a gift, flowers convey love and care and have the most remarkable ability to bring joy and conjure memories.

In this year's collection, I explore my own floral memories from much loved gardens to specific colours that remind me of flowers.

Let me explain. In my high school years, I spent many happy hours at my best friend’s house.

Her mum had a wonderful eye for colour and interiors. I loved the pale pink silk cushions resting on her olive lounge.

I hadn’t thought of that lovely room for years until I decided to include a series of hydrangeas in my collection. But with so many colour options in hydrangeas where should I start and then it came to me. That beautiful colour scheme of pinks and greens – and so the first in my nostalgic hydrangea series is titled ‘Katina’ I hope you enjoy this year’s journey into flowers of past and present gardens.

Commissions If you don’t see your favourite flower in my exhibition, or the size isn’t quite right, then maybe a commission is the answer. I love working with people to bring their special painting to life. I accept commission year-round; just send me an email and we can talk about your ideas.

Acknowledgements Flower growers and enthusiasts are the most generous people.
