WHERE WILD FLOWERS DANCE

OPENING FRIDAY 21ST MARCH

COME DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK

32 THE PARADE, NORWOOD, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Inspiration

"Where Wild Flowers Dance” continues the story of wildflowers in my work where flowers are symbolic of women. Wildflowers, in their natural beauty and resilience, symbolise the untamed spirit of women. 

 

In this exhibition it is through a softer, more nostalgic lens.  Rose-tinted hues wash over these works, carrying the warmth of memory and the quiet strength of those who leave their mark on our lives.

 

Inspired by my dear friend Rose, who recently passed, this collection reflects on how we hold onto beauty even in difficult times, always looking for the light. Just as wildflowers bloom in the most unexpected places, so too do love, remembrance, and the echoes of those we’ve lost. These paintings embrace the way art and life intertwine, capturing the bittersweet balance of grief and growth, sorrow and softness.

 

Where Wild Flowers Dance is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find comfort in the way colour lingers, in the way stories continue, and in the quiet, unwavering power of wild things.

unfold, unravel, bloom

Transformation is never linear. First, we unfold—revealing new layers of ourselves. Then, we unravel—shedding what no longer serves us. And finally, we bloom—stretching toward possibility, embracing the light.

A Place to feel good

SOFT REBELLION

Original painting acrylic on canvas framed in oak edge frame.

Dimensions: H83cm x 83cm x 6cm

Strength isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s in the way she chooses softness in a world that tells her to harden. It’s in her tenderness, her quiet defiance, her refusal to be anything but herself. This is for the ones rewriting the rules with grace.

sunday rose

SOLD

between darkness and dawn

The space between night and morning is full of quiet magic—the moment when the sky exhales and the world turns toward hope. This piece is a meditation on resilience, on the unseen work of healing, on the promise of new beginnings.

the light she wove

She doesn’t just walk through the world; she weaves light into it. Every kindness, every act of love, every step forward is a thread in the tapestry of something greater. This painting is a tribute to the women who mend, heal, and illuminate.

the colour of memory

Original painting acrylic on canvas framed in oak edge frame.

Dimensions: H83cm x 83cm x 6cm

Memories are not static; they shift and shimmer like light through stained glass. Some are vivid, bold, and all-consuming, while others fade softly into the background. This piece is a reflection on the way we carry the past with us—how it shapes us, lingers in our bones, and finds its way into the present in unexpected hues.

veil of the wild Ones

Original painting acrylic on canvas framed in oak edge frame.

Dimensions: H83cm x 83cm x 6cm

There is a place between myth and memory where the wild ones gather. Unruly, free, untethered to expectation—they are the dreamers, the wayfinders, the ones who move through the world like wind through the trees.

We would like to acknowledge the Bunurong peoples as the Traditional Owners of the land of which we work and live on. We would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and their elders past, present and emerging.
