Affirmation: Let me be your sunshine on a rainy day, in the darkest hours, every day to shine your day.


I started this artwork around Dec 2021. It’s been a long journey, sunny days and rainy days. Long working hours required determination and faith to be achieved. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I enjoyed, and I am happy to say I finally have it completed around September 2022.
By the time I have this artwork completed, I decided to name this artwork - A Lifetime Sunshine, which is an extension of my previous artworks – A Life Time Journey, A Life Time blessing, A Life Time Commitment, A Life Time Love, A Life Time Story and A Life Time Grit.
I present you the latest piece from my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like flowers.


To experience the changing of the seasons and to present moments, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom in my surrounding during its flowering season. This artwork was inspired by my visit to Royal Botanic Garden in Cranbourne. I was drawn immediately to this particular Flowering Gum tree- Corymbia Ficifolia (Baby Orange) in bloom in the flowering season, one of the main reasons that I always come back to the Royal Botanic Garden.


In this particular artwork, there are flowers in full bloom gloriously under the sunlight, flowers in the blooming stage, as well as with closed buds most rounded and showing colour and buds with caps lifting on ready to bloom. Those are metaphor for all the precious moments in lifespan development. Eucalyptus flowers also have the symbolic meaning of Healing and Protection.
The flower always blooms in its own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.


Artwork inspired by nature at Royal Botanic Garden, Cranbourne, Spring, 2022. -HSIN LIN


Corymbia ficifolia
A Western Australian native tree with several small outlying populations further to the East, grows on sandy soils in low-lying areas of woodland.
Corymbia Ficifolia -Baby Orange, belongs to the family- MYRTACEAE. A small Australian flowering gum growing to around 3-4m tall. One of the most outstanding flowering trees in Australia with conspicuous flowers in vermillion-orange that cover the canopy in summer, followed by large woody fruits known as honkey nuts. The brilliant orange flowers in summer bring the birds into the garden. A gum tree for every garden, the eucalyptus flowers for everyone.


-Bloom like flowers -
Hsin Lin’s series Bloom Like Flowers explores the process of blooming and our connection to nature.
The signature series features meticulously detailed acrylic paintings and prints that celebrate native Australian flora and wildlife and highlight the ecologies and habitats that support and connect them.
Hsin Lin’s professional background in fashion design informs her skill and ability to capture the organic textural details of these subjects. Through sensitive observation and illustration every petal, facet or filament is rendered on canvas.

Blossoms of Life – The Eucalyptus Flower for Everyone
© 2022 Lauren M. Hancock


Inspire grow bloom empower
we look to Nature and see her
unfold beautifully hour by hour,
orange blossoms unfurl and dance
vitality within, creation
what a trance.


Hungry bees and birds yearn for nectar
anonymously visiting
collecting for themselves and others,
the artist and the poet observe from away
smiling at each other and the precious scene
they have to appreciate this fine day.


Upon her canvas the artist dabs a
spot of white against green as contrast
the poet gnaws her pencil thoughtfully,
a phrase emerges from her mind
she scrawls it down quickly.


Together they’ll create a scene of
sumptuous colours and phrases
which capture a moment flowingly,
their duet of vivid blossoms
the artist and the poet
friends creating so joyously.

HSIN LIN, Award-winning Artist based in Melbourne, Australia.
In Hsin Lin’s ongoing, signature contemporary floral series that feature native and common flowers we know, flowers represent life and each different type of flower has a unique symbolic meaning.
Lin is inspired by her close observation of the natural world. Through a process of careful looking Lin is able to capture an incredible amount of intricate detail. To create the larger-scale work, Lin normally spends 6-16 months developing the intricate composition. The fine details such as the tiny petals have been developed through ten or more layers of paint. Lin describes that ‘although still-life is considered a traditional genre, each object in the paintings stands for a different meaning and has its own story. Flowers represent us as humans, vases represent the body carrying our soul, protecting us like a shield. The weaving basket stands for connections—the bonds between families, friends and all the people around us. Even if you are apart, everyone is still being linked together as a whole and we are stronger together.’ Lin’s paintings, a series of flowers in full bloom, remind us that we are alive and that life is vibrant, blossoming and full of potential.
