Bringing the Fine Art back in after 15 years of pure horticulture ~ 4th August 2015

It was just a matter of time. I turned my back on the Fine Art world before I had ever really given it a chance. I was 21. I was heading down the horticultural road and leaving Fine Art far, far behind. 

........it has caught me up. 

My exhibition is going up in just a few days. My first exhibition in 15 years. 

Of course horticulture was always going to be my subject; flowers are my muse.

My beautiful daughters are my inspiration. I see them experimenting with art materials and I join them. I am relishing discovering art all over again.

For this exhibition (my comeback - how exciting!) I am bringing flowers dramatically to the fore by sketching in the darkest of midnight-blue backgrounds. 

I know not what to expect. 

I will not stop. The Fine Art road and the Horticultural road have merged. I am travelling along and enjoying the ride 🎨💚🌻
