‘Flower Art: Painting Flowers for Joy and Connection art workshops are based on my series of paintings and mixed media works from my ongoing practice of painting flowers with and for others. These art experiences stem from my cherished memories of joy and care while painting with my grandmother with many cups of tea and homemade treats. She had a way of slowing me down and paying attention, in the moment, always up for a chat!
My practice of painting flowers continued through painting flowers for friends as gifts and collaborations with other artists, most recently, in a group exhibition Conversations with Flowers as part of Open Studios Sunshine Coast in May 2024.
Through painting flowers and sharing our stories, it turns out we, the artists, and visitors had many life experiences in common, which highlights ongoing themes of art being essential for our wellbeing and connection.’
