Most of my artwork is inspired by my love of flowers. From the delicate Japanese peonies, to the bold sunflowers, through to the tropical orchids, you could never become bored with them. 





The feelings that a single flower can evoke on a person are exceptional.  I wanted to capture this feeling in my paintings and to allow people to really look at the flower, something that is all around us, but because of our current hectic lifestyles, we do not always make time to stop and appreciate it. 





As the artist Georgia O'Keefe once remarked "if you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment".  I wanted to allow people to capture this feeling through my art.





On a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London some time ago, I came a cross a collection of Japanese kimonos, and that was when my love affair with all things Japanese begun.  The boldness and striking beauty of the patterns left me star struck. 





Through out the years I have combined these patterns with my love of flowers to produce beautiful, delicate pieces, which are expressly portrayed in my current work.
