Nature inspires my painting. Flowers are wonderful to paint. They provide delicious colours, and wonderful organic shapes and lines.
The presence of flowers in the home helps reduce anxiety and depression. Receiving flowers from another immediately lifts the mood and reduces anxiety.

Some flowers like nasturtiums and violets can be eaten, and provide colourful garnishes to our salads. Others like chamomile and lavender encourage restful sleep.

Planting flowers has environmental benefits as the flower's leaves absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
In addition to the benefits flowers provide to the local ecosystem, they also greatly benefit humans. The natural bugs and birds that flowers attract help keep our own surrounding environment healthy. The seeds that flowers drop and pollinate locally produce more plants, and more fruits and vegetables for us to eat.
