Magnolia Blooming

Painted with summer in mind - this Hamptons-style painting is perfect for a living room, bedroom, or part of a gallery wall.

I painted this from photos I took of the most majestic yet delicate bloom I captured from my back yard Teddy Bear Magnolia.

The challenge of capturing this bloom in oils is that all “whites” and tints are opaque - so creating the feel of shadow and translucence requires a ton of colour mixing and experimentation with hues. It’s why you’ll rarely see impressionistic magnolias in oils.

Though I do hope you love this rendering! Signed on front and back for authenticity.

I paint vividly bright paintings with intricate details that sing. Art has long been a part of my life. Growing up, I won several school and regional competitions. I earned my BA from Wellesley and volunteered as an art teacher to primary school students both at uni and with the New York Junior League.

In 2021, I transitioned to painting full time following a global career in marketing and advertising advising brands and companies on logo creation, tv commercial production, advertising campaigns, web sites and new product launches.

I paint with premium acrylic and oil paints on high quality canvases. All of my works are created by me in Brisbane or on the Sunshine Coast.
