Anthurium Crystallinum in Pink

Velvet leaf anthuriums, particularly of the Crystallinum variety, are incredibly intriguing, with their dark green foliage and crystal-like, glittery veins. This is a painting of the first anthurium I owned, but rather than follow a realistic depiction of it, I played with hues of purple and pink.

Note that the pencil border around the painting is still visible, but can be covered with matting when framed.

I am a painter and illustrator based in the Gold Coast. I have previously lived in the Manila, New Mexico, Sydney, the Central Coast, and Canberra. Professionally, I have worked in Advertising and have also done museum work.

My current focus is landscape and plant painting, experimenting with both realistic, and whimsical colours.

Though scenes from nature are my main subject, I have also dabbled in portraiture and still life. Artists I admire include Claude Monet, Cressida Campbell, and James Jean.

The materials I use are artist-grade, ensuring that the paint will not easily fade or crack under proper care.
