Roses et pointes

Roses et pointes (2018) is an original watercolour still life of roses and pointe shoes. I've been painting roses for the past few months and wanted to portray them in a different manner. I composed the reference image from roses and pointe shoes which I purchased. Roses et pointes is feminine and romantic, it would look beautiful in a home or dance studio.
The artwork was created using artist quality watercolour paints on Saunders Waterford 638 gsm acid free watercolour paper.

I have lived in Newcastle NSW all my life and studied my art degree here. I love working with watercolour, ink, acrylics and textiles (particularly silk). I also enjoy using pastels, making small sculptures and manipulating paper to form weavings and more 3D pieces. My work ranges from semi abstract to realistic depending on how I conceptualise the idea at hand.
