Bring the Sun Inside

I once lived in a townhouse that sat amongst heavy foliage. Wedged between two other homes, the lack of side windows created a rather dark environment. The first floor felt gloomy, and I do admit, affected my mood. I had not realised how much my surroundings were impacting my mentality. One day, my husband brought home a golden bouquet of gerberas. The bright orange petals seemed to cast their own light across the room, dispelling the shadows and filling the space with a gentle warmth. This work of art is a representation of that moment, reminding me to surround myself with what I find bright and bold.

This artwork is hand-painted with acrylic on stretched linen canvas and is finished with a satin varnish. Satin varnish creates a soft, gentle shine that subtly enhances the vibrancy and depth of colours. Felt frame bumpers are applied to each corner for wall protection. It comes ready to hang with braided wire.

Please note that colours may differ slightly from how it appears on your screen due to varying monitor settings.

My journey as an artist has been one of experimentation, mistakes, and growth. Throughout my life, I have been fascinated with world of creation. I have grown up drawing and painting to my heart’s content. Despite living with a creative appetite, I have spent a long time struggling finding my artistic style. It was not until I faced kidney failure, dialysis, and an organ transplant that my journey as an artist truly blossomed.

Acrylic painting has become my sanctuary. The soft, smooth medium calms my busy mind and helps me find bliss in difficult moments. I am attracted to florals due to the extensive variety. From soft, delicate forms to sharp, thorny edges, there is always a shape and flow to express my passion. I easily worry about intricate details, so my paintings take a step back to focus on dominant colours and shapes.

I invite you to explore my collection and find a piece that brings an unapologetic boldness into your life.
