The Misty Bouquet - Mixed Media Abstract Floral

The Misty Bouquet is a gorgeously soft artwork that has a calmness about it. A mixed media piece that incorporated loose, soft charcoal line drawings of abstract flowers and foliage. The calm, soft mint and blue background with the plum and pale pink flowers have created an artwork that I loved from the very start. The flowers I have painted came from memory, actually very rarely do I use reference photos. The colour pallet came to me by accident as I was using up some unused paint on the cover of a file folder (don’t ever throw good paint away). My pallet had some greens, magenta and white and what it created on that cover was to me, glorious!

I love colour......the brighter the better. My art is influenced by my beautiful surroundings of the far north coast of NSW. I live on the small peninsula of Fingal Head and I enjoy its natural beauty, lushness and glorious beaches. Painting is relatively new to me but I have had the privilege of having my own business creating beautiful things for the wedding industry all my life, you name it, I have made it!

I have a new love for acrylics and mixed media with a little dabble in watercolours! I am self taught with a lot of help from YouTube and some wonderful online teachers. My love of flowers goes back to my childhood and being mesmerised by a tiny florist on the main street shopping centre where I grew up, I would have only been 5 or 6 years old. My family owned a florist shop when I left school and my love of flowers and the wedding industry grew from there. I feel very privileged to have spent my working career creating beautiful things and now my creativity is reenergised in my paintings.

It would be my honour to have my artwork adorning your walls.
