A contemporary botanical painting, where, within the dramatic interplay of deeper colours and forms, a brighter sense of optimism emerges, gently dispelling any gloom. With its intricate details and vibrant hues, this piece crafts a narrative of hope, reminding us that even in the shadows, beauty and optimism can thrive.

Exploring the relationship with nature, pattern and print this series, Wonder, draws on sketches and watercolours made while extensively travelling through Asia, Europe and Australia. Screen printing and block printing capture the traditional patterns found in specific regions which are often applied to silk weaving with natural dyes. In many cases, brushstrokes repeat these rhythmic vertical and horizontal lines. This painting has been sold.
