There’s a spark in the studio again, and it’s all thanks to flowers, stencils, and a bit of fearless experimenting. Golden hour meets garden magic! In this new series, I’ve taken a big leap with light, colour and layered textures — all without a brush in sight. Inspired by seedheads, stencils, and summer evenings, these paintings feel like a real turning point.

After 27 years as a printmaker, I’ve embraced a new creative path with mixed-media floral paintings inspired by the coast. Using acrylics, collage, and stencils instead of brushes, I’m exploring texture, shape, and playful layering. Pieces like The Coast is Clear and Rooted by the Sea capture the joy of discovery and the beauty of nature. Read the full story and see the new work—there’s more to come!
