Opening Reception: Saturday, November 5th from 4 - 7 p.m.

"Glimmering highlights, rich contrasts, and vibrant colours allow me to capture the playfulness of nature. A world where every detail is interesting. The spectacular conservatories at Kew Gardens, plant portraits, and landscapes inspire me to pick up a tiny paintbrush and watercolour to capture every detail.

If you look closely in my paintings you will find a tiny toy car on a bench, a bee with full pollen baskets, the light fuzz on buds and leaves. The sense of the humid air in a conservatory; the waxy or dry textures of plants; and flowers at every stage of life. These are the details that drive me to paint."
