Inspired By Nature's Blooms
There’s something about flowers that has always pulled me in.
The shapes. The colours. The stories they tell without saying a word. From the very beginning of my creative journey, flowers have been at the centre of everything I paint and design.
As a child, I was surrounded by creativity. I loved art class, crafted endlessly at home, and learned sewing and embroidery from my mother and grandmother. But even with all the mediums I explored—painting, mosaic, lino printing, collage—flowers were always the constant.
And not just one kind of flower.
I’ve always been drawn to the bold beauty of native flora, the lush vibrancy of tropical plants, and the delicate structure of orchids and exotic blooms. There’s a richness and variety in the natural world that fuels my imagination and brings joy to my canvas.
Living in Australia, I’m endlessly inspired by the sculptural drama of waratahs, banksias, and protea flowers — their strength and uniqueness reflect the land itself. But I also find creative energy in the curves of a ginger plant, the vibrancy of tropical heliconias, and the softness of a pale orchid unfurling in the shade.
When I began designing professionally, I didn’t have to think twice about my subject matter. It was always going to be botanical. My art is my way of connecting to nature, memory, and meaning — and sharing that connection with you through colour and composition.
Whether it’s a protea bursting with detail, the delicate folds of an orchid, or the layered petals of a banksia bloom, every flower I paint carries a feeling. Sometimes strength. Sometimes joy. Sometimes quiet reflection.
Fun fact: Did you know that proteas, waratahs, and banksias (including the striking Banksia heliantha) all belong to the same plant family? It’s called the Proteaceae family — a botanical powerhouse known for its bold, dramatic flowers and sculptural forms. No wonder I’m drawn to them! These blooms are uniquely expressive, filled with strength and wild beauty — the perfect muse for a floral artist.

💬 Final Thoughts
I believe flowers have the power to brighten a space, lift your mood, and bring emotional richness to the everyday.
That’s why I paint them. And that’s why I’ll never stop.
