Half way between abstract and representational, my cherry blossom paintings represent beauty, magic, nostalgia and transformation. Their fleeting nature reflects the impermanence of life, and is a gentle reminder to appreciate and celebrate the present moment.
Known as Sakura in Japan, the tradition of travelling to view the blooms stretches back over 1000 years. This collection is inspired by the ritual of ‘Hanami’ - a ceremony known as “flower viewing” which is simply the ancient practice of gazing upon the flowers.
