About the 100 Florals Project
"The 100 Florals Project is a self-motivated peace of mind painting challenge. Blousy, frilly peonies, light and fresh freesias, humungous hydrangeas with a hoard of pots around the studio - all inspire me with their living magical colour and wild shapes. When they fade, the colours become muted and the leaves are crispy and expressive. These paintings convey movement and emotion in response to both living and dried florals in the studio. Working from observation, I'm responding to what I see and feel - a musical mark in the sweep of a brush or a calligraphic scribble. Most importantly, they take me out of myself and I am able to let go. The struggles in life are echoed in the resolution of each piece - a deep sense of satisfaction and peace."
