Water Lillies (2022), 81cm x 81cm acrylic on canvas, oil pastel, charcoal, varnish.

This painting is part of my love story with water themes. If you follow my work, you know my paintings often have marine inspirations. I love happening upon a pond, insects skating across the surface, fish beneath, frogs singing from the bull rushes. The rich algae and plant life sustain a complex ecosystem, vibrant colours blanketing thousands of species we may never directly encounter and yet whose lives we rely on in the great chain of life.
