BREAKING DIAMONDS is a commissioned painting of a reclining floating woman, inspired by mermaids in the BREATHE series. She was painted to complement the colours of an interior fabric and fit with the words: chartreuse, pale blue, teal, inky blue, sunbeams, movement, vitality, landscape. As I painted her I named her Karin, meaning ‘pure’, and imagined she was floating in the Adriatic sea off Slovenia.

Bougainvillea is an ornamental plant which loves light and warmth. A flowering machine, it blooms in a fiery explosion of colour and is hardy, tough and versatile. A closer look reveals that its heart-shaped leaves are paper thin and its scrambling branches are full of thorns.

Near Wild Blooms explore strength and vulnerability and reflect upon Briar’s past (1), present (2) and future (3).

Available individually or as a triptych at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, 21-25 March, in the Thou Art Mum exhibition section on the mezzanine floor of the Royal Exhibition Building.

Lavender blue, Tilly Tilly, lavender green. When I am king, Tilly Tilly, you will be queen. ~ Sammy Turner.

It’s interesting that I chose a background of lavender and this nursery rhyme because her mother would sing it to her when she was a baby! I changed the words to fit Matilda, a sweet little commission finished in time for a new bedroom in a new house this Christmas. This little girl loves purple and pink. She’s now 18 months older from when I started (I can explain!) so I tried to add a little age to her face. As ever with these things, she looks better face to face rather than face to screen.
