I painted the "Expanded Field" series after visiting a friends
incredible garden in Huonbrook. My friend and I have a passion for hippeastrums. Large, lush, velvety flowers that have a luminosity. These incredible flowers emerge each year from the earth, thriving on neglect and the tough subtropical Northern Rivers conditions.
Through the use of realism, abstraction and simplification my post modern flower paintings capture a deep reverence for nature. Flowers become allegorical figures transcending their literal representation. Metaphors for feminism, sexuality, growth, impermanence, spirituality and the connection of humans to nature.
