IN MY STUDIO
Painting - A treasure from the sea
An observation of life form - A reflection from my
childhood memories.
ART MEDIUM - Organic pigments with texture paste.
‘LET THE STORY UNFOLD’
CAPTURING ART FROM NATURE
I derive inspiration from nature, and some of my recent designs have captured the subtle details that are often overlooked in nature - colour, texture and shape. An observations of local nature reserves, coastline, and mountains have been the source of exploration for all of my designs.
I am currently exploring nature's natural colour palette in the development of my 'Signature Collection'. My identity is embodied in this collection with elements that I have discovered throughout my journey.
