A lifelong understanding of how to care for the environment begins with the care of a single plant. Through an awareness of what it requires to survive and what, in turn, it gives back to the ecosystem, the microcosm of the garden teaches us the absolute interconnectedness of all things.

The Succulent Studies are meticulously observed oil paintings that capture the form, value, colour, textures and reflections of their subjects in a way which asks us to pause and consider them through a lens of renewed clarity.

In a world perpetually ‘switched on’ to technology and each other, this work honours the tactile and the tangible, the essence of that which surrounds us in the physical world.

Exploring an appreciation for the subtle beauty found in moments of quietude, stillness and reflection, this painting reflects a sense of quietude, calm contemplation and fleeting respite from the stresses of daily life.
