The Light Within

The Light Within’ is a gorgeous creamy rose that caught my eye one Anzac Day dawn service. As the sun rose, this gentle beauty seemed to emit light from its very centre. There is something about cream coloured roses. They are as eye catching as they are breathtaking. Like white roses, cream roses are very rarely just cream in colour. In their depths and folds you find tints of apricots, peaches, pinks, and yellows. In their shadows blues, lavenders, and greys delight the eye. These shadows reflect their environment yet hold their own with their beauty. Bring ‘The Light Within’ into your home and place her where the light shines and where you can bathe in her warm glow.

Vanessa is a South Australian based artist specialising in oversized blooms and large-scale floral paintings.

In her floral paintings, Vanessa showcases the exploration of changing colour palettes, the fall of light, and the turn of form that all impact the depths and tones of the subject. Her goal is to capture the movement and flow of the petals and leaves, inviting you into the heart of the bloom.

While beautiful blooms are her muse and delight, Vanessa also likes to explore other subject matter including landscape paintings.

Immersing herself in art from a young age, she has used art to express feelings, explore colour, and delight in the simple pleasure of creation.

The love of nature continues as a theme in Vanessa’s work with paintings of pears, lotus flowers, tulips, hydrangeas, gum nuts, irises, magnolias, and dahlias and more.
