Joy amidst the flowers

Creating hummingbird art feels like playing with colour light and energy and feels so connected to the moment. They are small delights that encourage lightness of being and that pause as we lean into the present moment. Flowers bloom all around as the hummingbird vibrates with the energy of the flow.

This small piece is painted on a wooden panel, the layers of paint and markers form a base that allows a playful flow of gold and white pigments. There is something magical about the close-up connections as the colours shimmer in the reflective nature of resin and light.

Invite the energy of presence, flow and joyful delight into your home. This original mixed media resin painting is a beautiful unique art gift to inspire energy, light and joy.

Joy amidst the flowers

There is an opening place,
Within the garden,
flowing into life
and awakening light

That wild freedom,
living within,
calling our souls,
to those inner corners.

A space to bloom,
as magic bursts of colour,
fill my heart,
with joy.

Cheryle Bannon – Melbourne Artist – I love to paint calm happy art as imagined impressionistic nature stories that bring a feeling of calm happy spaces for the heart and home. Art is meaning making as a path to understanding our world and finding our way back to harmony and balance.
Available for PAINTINGS, COMMISSIONS, PRINTS of selected artworks and whimsical mixed media sculptures.
I am a mixed media painter and sculptor and have always been involved in the creative arts. I taught art in secondary schools for 30 years alongside regular group shows. I have been a fulltime artist since 2018, exhibiting in both group and solo shows.
I have artworks in private collections both nationally and internationally. I have been an artist in residence working with disengaged youth and in a primary school cluster project.

My intuitive art process is inspired by the random beauty of nature, animal wisdom and birds as a guided process that is a way of making meaning in a world out of balance. I explore colour and light through natural images that inspire emotional connection to our stories through the natural world. Colourful mixed media images begin with symbols and words that build the feeling and energy of the evolving art story. Art as visual stories evoke a sense of peace and balance connecting us to our world. I view art as a meditative process that is mindful and healing. I paint in a variety of sizes using layers of colour, texture and form, using a variety of media such as acrylic paint or watercolour. Art is built through the layers, with a variety of mark-making, collage, inks, pastels, crayons, and resin. The layers create a depth that invites us into the story imagery that comes alive within the art. We enter these visual stories as a participant connecting to the energy and feeling of the piece.
My art is a way to pause and explore the layers of colour, emotion and story that are an, honouring of the Earth and her wisdom. through exploring the depth of our personal and global connected storied worlds. Art is an exploration of inner landscapes and outer worlds as a way to connect to those breathing spaces that remind us of balance and flow.
Every beautiful moment brings inspiration and opens us to connections to our own calm happy heart stories.
